Wanchorage

Like the city with a similar name
Wanchorage is a beautiful place,
with mountains greeting the ocean,
big bouncy whales
breaching their asses off,
and eagles riding air currents
like magic carpets
through endless azure skies.

Everyone in Wanchorage
has a mate,
a virtually perfect one
with whom they are virtually certain
they'd share a lifetime of sexual ecstasy
and day to day biss.

No one
is to say they are wrong.
No one is to say
there is someplace else they should be.
No one is to say
that eagles can't speak fluent German,
or that whales can't learn to waltz.

Some visit Wanchorage
a few minutes a day.
Some live there for years
luxurianting in relationships without financial stress,
without undesirable traits,
without conflicting needs,
or waning desires.

Life is always beautiful in Wanchorage.

But sooner or later,
you have to go home.
