Fugitive Glue
By umbugjug
16 June 2005
I read this term for the first time today, and i thought that it is fantastic. So I wrote a poem in five minutes that does not begin to do it justice...

(by the way, it's the stuff that keeps cds on the front of magazines)


Fugitive glue

Whatever happened to that fugitive glue,
Those small sticky patches that stuck me onto you?   

Whose was the water that put out the fire?   
Must have been yours dear, because mine just burned higher.           

What was I thinking when you came undone,
Unravelled, untangled, unwanted, unspun?

How could I miss it when you slipped away?
Did it take more than a weekend, a month or a day?

Where is the rubber that sucked me into you?
Whatever happened to that fugitive glue?

These little rhyming rhetorical coupltets accurately convey the confusion of love lost in a style that is fresh and engaging.
