Lukewarm
Lukewarm creamed spinach.
Lukewarm love.
Lukewarm tenderness,
lukewarm smiles
from lukewarm hearts
benign, impotent
diluted dreams
have no flavor
when they have no heat
lukewarm is a preservative
state of nowhere and nothing
no love, no hate
a peaceable zero
a buffer from pain.
Lukewarm. A flavorless
poison, a tasteless debate
nothing to savor
no taste and no flavor
Lukewarm creamed spinach.
