The Similarities Between Slinkies and Failed Relationships

A poem of comparisons

Brand new slinky
or romance —
silvery and spry
alluring and fresh —
invites us to prop
summons courage —
circular ends from
a tentative kiss or hug —
step to step and let
hands held at dusk —
fly, jump, play
talk, embrace, kiss —
