A Single Inch
The distance of a single inch
is the same as miles bewitched
by the magic that separates
one from another’s intimates
that void defined by purity
approved by society
those pesky ethics that conflict
with the drives of the itch
those urges most consider base
put in the closet of the id
propagate nonetheless
as the core of humaneness
these desires are thus denied
even as the lust multiplies
with no outlet to transcend
the distance of a single inch.
