Aches

do not laugh
i am aching, it is not just my eyes
(from too much reading)
it is not just my arms and legs
(from too much work, and walk and
your prescription for a daily exercise
those weights and pumping irons)

do not laugh at me
you are the woman that i love
away from me
and this heartache is not funny

let us make love
in cyberspace tonight
9 p.m. sharp
