The Absence Of.....

   
somewhere between  
the poetic and the pornographic    
we search as sexual beings    
for real connectivity to    
help satisfy and justify the human condition    
something meaningful    
within the dialogue of the species    
something tangible...tethered to a deeper sentiment    
if not a true love    
then a sense of kindredness    
something filled with warmth and familiarity    
existing beyond bedroom politics    
from pillow talk to table talk    
from performing salacious acts in the dark    
to slow walks in the park    
so needy are we in unspoken ways    
we constantly betray ourselves    
claiming independence    
as the greatest lie ever told..sold wholesale    
in twenty minutes or less    
back seated after club hours    
or in nights of ecstasy laced with ecstasy    
or whatever party favors    
that suits the flavor of the evening    
doing too much    
yet it never seems to be enough    
cuz we're just chasing nuts and nothin else    
indulging exotic fetishes    
experimenting with experiences    
never-minding the who    
it's about ability and availability    
objectifying body parts    
while forever remaining famished    
we empty ourselves in more ways than one    
in this fingertip society    
where desires are just an app away delivered Uber style    
in a hop on hop off hook up culture    
we end up as recycled tourists    
in the pleasure museum    
while the purist inside us languishes    
in a sad state of anonymity    
yearning for room to breathe
