In The Realm Of Sex

 
sociobiology
had the questions

different rules seemed to exist

he liked her less
the more he got to know her

attraction did not correlate but
fluctuated

according to mysterious principles
pheromone-driven hormonally based

sometimes

he steeled himself
to accept her touches

other times

he felt alive
lust stronger unmixed with affection

more senseless still

lust heightened
by dislike

as novelty wore off

frequently distanced from lovemaking
inclined to fantasize during

falling deeply

into alter ego
thinking about caressing

women he did not know
had scarcely heard of

Ingrid Bergman
Julia Roberts

sociobiology
had the answer

primate
dominance dynamics
