WHAT HUMANS DO
WHAT HUMANS DO
WHAT HUMANS DO
The candlelitafter-dinner
careful screw,
the under-the-moon
shooby doo
be doo groove,
the from behind,
the sixty-nine,
the is there time,
the I need wine,
the twisted talking
dirty grind,
the Erica Jong
zipless screw,
the I-got-somethin’-
to-prove ruse,
the primal bang,
the power game,
the long play,
the itchy-ish, sudden-ish
roll in the hay,
the take me away,
the once a month
married way,
the hail mary,
the holy-joe-
I-can’t-believe-
my-luck hump,
the side to side
slow pump,
the grudge fuck,
the quick poke,
the hard core,
the tenderest lap
of waves on the shore,
and the gushing rushing
endless coming
of I’ve never felt
this way before.
