slopes

The drops get you
         Precipitate
         And unexpected

It's easy to be complacent
         to the gradual inclines
When love is easy and
Perhaps a little quotidian
         a gradual slope
         uniform
         in just noticeable differences of agreement
A steady pull of happiness
The chains of the relationship taut
And compelling

Who says that this is the right metaphor?
Why can't you ascend spiraling into the heavens

         And take away the declivities
         Of infidelity?
         Dips of discontent?
         Drops of disillusionment.

The ride is all about
         The view from the top
