Exit 7E

Needy, prying eyes  
clutching at  
Jersey knit sheets.  
They're hungry  
and they've spotted  
a fresh fix  
  
If only 
the taste of  
kissing after a meal  
could be pawned  
  
It's second nature  
to get caught  
knee deep 
in the undertow 
  
Catharsis only 
goes so far  
the rest comes  
down to repression 
  
  
They say  
Reason is a value  
that doesn't come   
in a year, 
but it can depreciate  
in less
