Love in Logic
In a perfect world
It would star date 3201.1,
& We, We’d be Vulcan.
See Vulcans put logic and reason before emotion,
so before the fights and tears
We’d incite a logical inquiry;
Both desperately searching for a solution.
Never wanting to hurt each other.
Sending a landing party to our hearts,
phasers set to stun—
To numb our temporary insanity.
Our superhuman strength
would give us a one up on earth love,
Our telepathy would conjure inside jokes
and we’d always be connected,
For we could use our mind melds to
bridge the gaps whenever apart.
Because Baby, our biology would be different.
So the green I see on your face
when you laugh with another,
won’t be because of my jealous rage,
but because of the copper based blood
running through your veins.
& since our hearts are low—
between ribs & pelvis
when hips thrust at Warp speed 11
our hearts will touch;
Reacting like 2 dilithium crystals
sending this enterprise of love
into hyper drive.
But after the first time.
When you Kirked out
After boldly going where no man had gone before,
I knew you must already be part vulcan.
Because you left me there
With no explanation.
And on episode 39,
Without much explanation
Spock almost let his father die
in the name logic, even though he still loved him.
So I figure you must have loved me
& there was some logic in you leaving.
You didn’t realize
that to me,
you walking out that door
equated a beam exiting a phaser.
The hit stunned me.
I wished that phaser had been set to kill.
How could I ever live long and prosper?
I’d been Vulcan Neck Pinched,
Apprehension froze my nervous system.
I couldn’t thaw the nerves
To ask why you left.
I needed to go to Sickbay,
But McCoy just responded with
I’m a Doctor not a therapist
& sent me back to the bridge.
That week,
While sitting at the 87th funeral
For a red shirt.
I began to reconsider my wish to be Vulcan.
Because it’s Spock’s time of the decade
& Pon Farr is taking hold.
Last time he almost let his vices
Cause him to kill Jim.
Yet, T’Pring didn’t even want him.
The Suppressed emotions, the sexual depravity, the violent fits.
They are all too much.
I don’t want to kill you because you can’t get it up
or because I’m on my period.
Do Vulcan’s even get periods?
So, I don’t know if I want to be Vulcan anymore
Because Amanda Grayson mistranslated
Arie'mnu to mean Lack of Emotions,
When really it meant Passions Mastery.
& I don’t think that I am strong enough
To master my passion.
Don’t think that I could handle purging myself
Of all emotion.
& I Don’t think that I couldn’t care when you
When you walk out on me.
So I think I will stay in my imperfect world.
With or without you.
Waiting for the Starship Enterprise to come
Seeking out new life and new civilizations.
Coming close enough to my world
So my communicator connects
And I can finally say
Beam me up scotty
