A Peek Behind the Veil 

.

The questions you have are beyond me,

Beyond my ability

To naturally conceptualize, beyond my loose citation,

My variate and inconsistent study.

.

I cannot live in that place, the deep waters

Would swallow me whole; I am bound

Instead - as most men are -

To the practicalities of the world:

.

To phone bills, and mailboxes,

Fees and correspondence,

To shift-work, and housecleaning,

To morning alarms and breakfasts.

.

.

I’ve not the time to spare, but for weekends.

I’ve not the sort of pace,

Tempo, to so readily approach such questions.

.

.

You want in minutes

What would naturally take years - 

And such eagerness, such lusty

Insatiability, laughingly,

.

Might bring a man to tears.

.

To want in minutes

What would naturally take years

Is enough to shake the stomach

And laugh a man to tears.

.

.

You make yourself so easy to love

That it is difficult not to smile.

.

.
