stimulieren

it begins with the locking of eyes
across a room the contact is made
like a glowing light that comes from nowhere
suddenly honing in &
locating the signs that are familiar
the human animal instinct that senses
mutual attraction
with immediate thoughts reminding
that societal constructs do not allow for the
tearing of each other’s clothes off
right there in the store or the bar or the train
station
so that each can have their way with the other
writhing together in an explosion of pleasure---
so the urge is bottled up &
the bodies of these two individuals
vibrate with wanton yet presently denied
gratification---
they move toward another
to begin the culturally accepted
mating ritual
whose conclusion is supposed to be
procreation.

but what if for a moment
all this restraint is put on hold?
what if the carnal urge is catered too &
the societal constructs are left to
society to babble over for decades
before coming to the conclusion that there is
no need for procreation anymore?
what if all there is
is the need for these lingering leftover aspects of
our evolution to be
quenched?
this
THIRST,
this
HUNGER,
must no longer be caged &
in that instant
these two animals
without the identity as believers in any
god or soul or metaphysical
excrement
take it upon themselves to
step outside into the nearest alley
and grope each other frantically
tearing at the clothes
pawing, rubbing, licking, biting,
moaning, whimpering, growling,
digging, scratching, clawing,
penetrating, grinding, thrusting,
squeezing, clenching &
releasing releasing releasing
until covered in one another’s
juices,
the two fall away from the act
and walk in opposite directions
never to communicate again.
