Ignition

You sat inside me
rolled up 
like a blunt 

waiting to be lit
fire is after all a type of ignition

I have a match in my pocket
let's go

  1. I read this as a kind of internal conflict, or other self which usually lies dormant until the right spark brings that personality to the fore.

  8. Hm. The waiting must be the conflict. If this is a conservative type, she'll wait for the right switch!
