"Express"

            
            
 Local event
 Three-plus hours
 Nine hundred attendees
            
 Fifty-six ladies
 selected from the group
 hear my private declaration
 one by one
            
 Why fifty-six
 What I wouldn't give for more people
 to fully comprehend
        
 Fifty-six is a close friend
 when seeking
 Free spirits
 Energy
 Independent thinkers
 Liberty
        
 Seven of fifty-six beautiful minds
 demonstrate genuine interest
 We exchange contact info
      
 Something will develop
 with several of these special spiritualists
 Fiery passion only finds full release through spirited entanglement

 What I wouldn't give
 for others to experience this
 magic of free thought, sharing

 Courteous, confident, concise
 approach with a giving attitude
 Always taking less than is given

 Conversation impregnated with freedom of expression
 Ideas shared, eyes opened, thoughts massaged
 Ultimate intimacy lives within and beyond ourselves
      
 Bodies in motion
 Souls crave attention
 Spirits make the connection
        
 Why fifty-six  
 This is the number of signatures on
 The Declaration Of Independence

 The number of individuals who
 freely thought and openly
 expressed

 Most, if not all, put everything on the line
 Their lives, legacy and family safety in jeopardy
 due to a dedicated pursuit for free expression

 Most, if not all, had illicit affairs
 Refusing to be force fed the single course
 of inadequate monogamy

 This, and many other examples, is why
 my mind is open, I choose never to be bound
 by social or religious convention, I would rather be
 free to think, study, dream, dance, evolve, share, enjoy

 From a gathering of nine hundred people
 with more than five hundred women
 had I time to approach only fifty-six
        
 We each are free to express
