Love unconsidered
Is love that is wasted.
Life unexamined,
Is life untasted.
Love, life, waste, taste--
Too much for some,
So they settle in haste,
And then have time
To repent at leisure.
(Now then, sir, and
What's your pleasure?)
O, life's one hell
Of a tawdry game;
Run it through, again
And again, and look,
It still turns out
About the same.
Blindly jerking, (noises off),
A masturbatory fumble, while
The sophisticates scoff, and
Mix their martinis, shaken,
Not stirred; and never,
Never, NEVER a word
About the monster,
Lurking,
Underneath the hood,
The cubic inchworm
That swallows the blood.
Floor the pedal,
Feel the surge.
Gobble the blacktop,
The rough male urge
To take, to possess,
Going nowhere fast.
Desire is heady,
But it doesn't last.
Sooner or later
Somebody crashes.
Is sex the Oprah
Of the masses?

I don't watch Oprah, I've only had sex two times and got three kids so I don't think I'm qualified to answer this question. But I liked the poem. :-)

Thanks. No, I don't usually watch her either, just bored one afternoon,and flicking through, looking for the Discovery channel. Thats my story, and I'm sticking to it.
