Strike a match.
Exothermic, a spark
as life begins and then
Racing towards your fingertips
until fuel is lost and flames
reduce in size and then
are gone.
Unless,
by some cruel twist of fate,
a pair of lips purse and blow
the spark away and then
You are left with
half a match
in the palm of your hand.

One do I say, One do I say, One do I say.
Two should follow, Two should follow, Two should follow.
