Poem: Can’t Touch

Happy Valentine’s Day! (with respect to M.C. Hammer)

Can’t Touch
By Michelle Garren-Flye

Nothing ever really touches
so you can’t touch my heart.
No matter how the blood rushes,
I’m untouchable from the start.

Tis just the repulsion of electrons
that you feel upon your hand.
That’s what fires up your neurons;
it’s nothing like love so grand.

No atom will share its ground
no matter how you may sigh.
To laws of physics we are bound;
can’t escape! Give up, don’t try.

Nothing ever really touches
no matter how the blood rushes. Photo and poem copyright 2025 Michelle Garren-Flye
