so this is how it is

so this is how it is

A Poem by Brianetics

 so this is how it is...

reduced to a quick tussle behind locked doors
        a brief suck
        a lick or two
strictly for formalities sake
 
then a few thrashing thrusts
followed by a hurried search
        for a towel
        for a rag
anything that can be used to mop up with
 
before the kids notice
that we have disappeared to steal a few minutes 
        of haphazard pleasure
        of fumbling carnality
a brief romp as a reminder of our attraction
 
so this is how it is...
fleeting sex behind locked doors
just like when I was sixteen

A querulous montage of journal-like lines, staggered to make amends for the dearth of sustenance.. yet, it does document a rather common snapshot of married existence for some with children at the tender ages. A thoroughly delightful romp with lament! :)
