Or So I'm Told

At the extreme north, the voyagers are obliged to dance and act plays for employment. - Thoreau

emotions vacationing in an organ loft

mixing metaphors like a bar tender with too many swizzle sticks

unable to hit the spit sink at the dentist

tired of watching the asphalt melt in a nuclear summer

vacillating to and fro

high and low

back and forth 'tween the same few strings on a lowly bass

going goo-goo and gaga like a drooling baby without a binkie

flesh willing

spirit weak

shunning reason and embracing sin

you opened your soul to let me in

but there wasn't any room

you couldn't bear the burden

not without a hernia

craving nature's semen whilst shunning the mess

you wanted to dance but didn't know the steps

so you took the low road

the one with the lighter load

in your eyes, all that glitters is fool's gold

or so i'm told

that and square boulders can't be rolled

.

Author's Note

"The higher the mountain on which you stand, the less change in the prospect from year to year, from age to age. Above a certain height there is no change." - Thoreau

Hot, steamy, sexy tale of olden days, of sinful encounters which was bittersweet to remember and recount. Not sure if the narrator regrets or applauds the outcome. Picture is telling a thousand words.
