Twenty-something Lover

-she asks:
" So; the poem.. What's it about? "

" It's about an old man's infatuation
with a Much younger woman --you'll love it! "
-he exclaims

>> Now, just where do we draw the line?

And clearly there are Fine Lines between
all sixty-four squares on the board
between gamepiece and players as well
And while splitting hairs has been the norm
has been a benchmark for
quite . some . . time . . .

Why sure ! I'll have me a twenty-something lover
Love her; And show her
That she need discover
E-lectrical Po-tential
the anodes and cathodes
their incident high voltage
discharge with brilliant, violet-blue arcs
Convulse the entire Being

But will she emerge the wiser?
Will she forsake such childish notion
as kissing and telling for
~exquisite loving~
afforded su-preme design?

(comma) , (space) __ (dot, dot, dot) ...

>>That's why we’ better not
