and you said.."what?"

and I giggled, and said
"I meant, listen, darling - I was wondering
what do think Snoopy's Sun Sign is?"

"why Goob, don't you know?
Snoop is clearly an Aquarian dog!
good old sloopy, dippy Snoop
has all the canine scoop
on new Uranus vibrations
Snoopy is a Goober too
and I bet he's even in love, like you
...and me
with a twin sould of his own"

"then where is his blanket? that is, his Comforter
I mean, his girl friend.. his only love?"

"oh, he probably keeps his true love
a secret
so that liberated Lucy wench
won't nag his ear off about it.."

"you male chauvinist pig!" I murmured
as I smell your cheek
don't put Lucy down - she's just like me"

"she is? hmmmm..well, then
I guess she's a rather wonderful wench
and I love her madly"

"you do? oh, Gooober, you really do?"

"I love her madly"

"even if she's a little pushy
and aggressive and outspoken
.. and independent, and.."

you repeated

"whether Lucy is a little timid mouse
or an independent, liberated female
if she's like you - I love her madly
now, come here, spunky wench
and stop stealing the pillow
you're a willow
who has learned how to bend.."

then we spaced-out
on a healthy, smoochy, carrot juice kiss
and read the comics together

Lucy wasn't in them that morning

Snoopy was

do you want a permissive dove
who will help you celebrate the rejection of love
by joining you in drinking the heady wine
of a modern 'open marriage'?

do you want a female who's humble and meek
who will turn the other cheek, and never-ever shriek
when you find fault with everything she says and does
who will part her hair the way you tell her to
with every feeling locked, and every action clocked - by you?

is the ideal wife to share your life -a homecoming type,who.."

..oh, I was thinking of her then
yes, this is where she came in..

"..a homemaking type
who sews all her own clothes

and loves to trade recipes with your sister and mother
while you run around with another

who smiles when you flirt
who won't scream
when she's hurt

who is never jealous, suspicious or mad
or furiuos or curious - or lonely or sad?

do you want a woman who will never ask questions
about the girls in your past
who will simply shrug her shoulders, if love doesn't last
and who won't grieve when you leave
but merely wish you 'better luck next time!'
so you can still be friends, when the faerie tale ends?

WELL?

I see - I mean - I hear - no denial

look, Sir - if you don't mind my making a suggestion
I really think you ought to re-hire
the girl you fired last year..you know?
the one who's so friendly with your family - and who knows how to cook and sew

she's in your waiting room right now
and she has all the right quaifications

I don't believe I'm exactly
what you're looking for

I'm sorry I took up so much of your time
I thought the Classified Ad said..
no experience necessary

can you direct me
to the Emotional Welfare office?"

then shocked, heard my voice asking

"were you - are you in love with either of them?
I mean, the Scorpio - or the one who first aroused you
that is, who excited your interest in the occult?"

why in God's name, I anguished
did I ask you that?

you stared straight ahead
at the moving stream of traffic
and replied quietly..too quietly?

I tried to judge by your profiled face
but it was absolutely blank - stone face, expressionless
Moon-in-Scorpio poker face
I thought.. who cares! but listened carefully

to your reply

"no, not real love - one was just a girl
I knew during a lonely spring and summer
a wondering soul, who hears
a different drummer
I guess we helped each other along the way
but out aquaintance was quite brief
so neither of us felt any grief
when she moved away

as for the other
the one who was so close to my mother
we shared a tentative romance
for more than a year
but it also finally came to an end
and now she's only a good friend

romance is searching - love is an eternal thing
so neither relationship could have been love
because both of them are past
and I've always believed that,if it's love....
....it will last"

I felt the fiery sparks
and tiny flame of the remembered pain....disappear.
