The Aging AmoristA Poem by Wilyem Clark
Now that my body is falling apart
Ever so slowly Despite my best efforts to prop it up, Why do I feel an urgency To conceive and commit sordid crimes That I missed completing in more virile days? Back when licentiousness seemed more natural, And motivations revved the rods Of avid engines equally; When bonding happened easily, Like to like in taut attraction, Against all expectation driven, Smashed together with such force Reluctance surely would be shattered Utterly. Yet reluctance crept back in, Postponed delinquency for years Until my over-ripeness failed To draw the feasters to the feast. © 2019 Wilyem Clark |
