Analysis of Intentions
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
What do you want
a sperm donor?
A sexual being to service your needs?
Do you want to capture
To distill thoughts and feelings shared
Into some wine for you to drink, alone
Without dealing with the seeming inconsistencies
composing and defining
The reality of interaction
Is what makes us get along so well
In relationships together
Based upon what we have in common
Our wants and needs
Divided by the imagination
of What life could be like
In the worlds of our fantasies
Not knowing which is sweeter
The imagination or the reality
Born of necessity
People acting ad lib
In dialog with each other
Knowing
its importance
To the truth
Of
