Scandal Junkies

 

Feel the throbbing
from the stimulating 
hormonal magnetism
down to the molecular level
of these two coworkers
desperately trying
to keep their relationship professional

and body language muted

Say a prayer
for their dangling monogamy
endangered daily 
by the seductions

of office space proximity

as they work round the clock

to make the hard deadline

that many jaded pilgrims

of a cynical

gossiping bent

choose to believe

has already happened

Perceived whispered sin

being more damaging

than hard to fathom 

boring just friends reality
