The Slow Torture of the Imminent Arrival of Love
by Andie Bottrell


that person
place
and thing
show up
unannounced
unforeseen
the arrival is happening
---but perhaps not?
unknowable future
taunts three jaunts ahead of you
the person is unpredictable as yet
and may or may not be at the place
and may or may not illicit that same
thing 
that was just beginning to be brought up
there is sudden vomit forming
don't worry
it's just the slow torture
preceding
the imminent arrival
of love.
