1.

I miss you
I miss you like all evolved life
misses the ocean floor
and crawling around on all fours
scavenging for meat instead of hunting
sustaining life on a diet of berries & nuts
living to a ripe old age of twenty
shitting in the woods & fucking like animals
worshipping the sun
creating a pantheon of gods
going to war time & time again
waxing philosophical
seeking enlightenment
and finally arriving at the conclusion of nothingness
I miss you that way
yes
exactly like that

mouth agape watering
attentions directed toward
an end result
expecting
a reward
a promise
a pat on the behind
a job well done
there’s no present like the time
no time like the present
no time
no time
no time
except
all the time in the world
we’re all Pavlov’s Dog
when you
get
down to it

masturbating in the shower
he cuts a fart at the exact moment
ejaculation’s sweet release
fires like a piston

water dribbles between his legs
the knees get weak
begin to tremble & shake
he sighs

the steamy air provides
contrast for the fetid odor
meshing with the scent
of ivory soap
