flirtation physics

Why is it so much harder to flirt
with someone you already (biblically)
know like as if unto from genesis
to revelation? Having seen and
so believed, come in glory
and the flesh and all that,
incarnate as the proverbial?

You can still have all kinds
of wordplay fun, but it's
arch, knowing fun, and

not quite the same. Perhaps

a state of inintimacy

increases frisson between
those whose sexual attraction
and compatibility is at least part
latent, still potential only, and
it lends a pervasive glow to all
maybe-innuendos? If so, COOL, 

however
- takes a dab hand to manage, 
you know. You might be pulling 
apocalyptics out of your fundament 
literally, while she's just like "no, 
I meant, 
could you turn 
the light on?" You thought 
it was the beginning of a new 
creation between and of you! 

She 
meanwhile 
was hoping for a better look, and 
that's not bad. Is it? Don't 

get presumptuous 
unless you're about to get 
sumptuous. But 

there's the rub. Do you know 
how to tell which? 

Flirtation 
is all about pretending how that just 
went made sense quite well, no lie 
no kid, but in confidence that 
it did make sense, and 

you trust this person well enough. 
Between you, you'll figure out 
how, 
right?
