On the Question of Infidelity

It’s shocking, the positions, some think

are hedges, waterproof excuses

for when they’re caught coloring outside the lines.

As if there’s nothing to be ashamed of, no reason

the bare facts can’t be twisted, added to

whenever the ledger’s in need of a little mid-life

spelunking. I can’t begin to tell you how many

work-around whys, turgid tunes to shady

circumstances, I’ve heard to ameliorate the dirty

exploration of red-light mattresses. Everyone’s

a preacher, Billy-Jim Tammy-Lynn until

they’re caught in flagrante, corpus erectus,

steaming the tea: when the sixty-ninth commandment,

there shall be accountability for the expenditure of

every pubic scent suddenly becomes the ninety-

sixth reversal -- let my sinners go … cast off

all the attorneys, the private dicks … bees

can’t resist the natural urge to pollinate.

You know there are some terrific metaphors here Ken. I smiled all the way through. Thoroughly entertaining:)

coloring outside the lines
steaming the tea
corpus erectus
private dicks

All sounds tremendous fun until you get caught with your fingers (or anything else) in the till. Have a good weekend.

Hellos, Ken e Bujold,
there is two sides of the table,
the loss of affection, the loss of love,
the loss of sincerity, words that state how not you feel but how it is,
age, a reckless thing,
once, I was told you want a girl or a woman?
we were kids, looking out our professor, outstound,
lawyers, preachers, ha ha! outlandish! makes me grunt,
innocence, love, age, betrayal,
--great write! great write! Dear,

Guilty of all charges your honor, if we’re counting guilty pleasures add a few more.
Fun and entertaining as always, Ken.
