Ten Seconds

by Ann Mosher

Our love can be counted in 10 seconds

Which was more than I could spare

but I gave them as

-one, we looked up

and two our eyes met

three, we smiled

and four, you came

five, you spoke

and six, your words

were seven, so wrong

and eight I frowned

and nine I stood

then ten I left and

thus ended our love affair.
