i wonder if everyone else feels the pulls
magnetism moving feet this way and that
so used to the undercurrent of what comes next
half the time i can’t tell whats choice

its subtle that way
plucks words from cavity spaces
the one that refills oils last minute, asks the right questions, makes just enough eye contact

before any choice is made
hands are searching hip creases
and we’re making playlists
with the parts of us neglected by choice
