a small lovely surprise

I was feeling 
fondness
for you

As you gave me
a shoulder massage
at the sink.

What a small
lovely surprise.

And then you
cupped my boobs
and made a wha-wha noise.

And in an instant
I felt disgust
and sadness and regret.
 
[John Kenney, 'At the Kitchen Sink', from Love Poems (for married people)]
