.

my muse has abandoned me
what will i do for cerebral sex,
should i wait patiently for her return?
she always returns tho without notice --
in the meantime i may be forced
to settle for the physical variety,
a very poor substitute

perhaps she is attending other poets
or is off on some wild sapphic tryst,
she shows no favour to gender

but more likely she hasn’t left me
at all -- it may be i have simply
lost my way and dulled my senses
with mundane and other meaningless
worldly matters

yes, i feel her approaching in the nick
of time, in desperation i retrieved the number
of a tedious physical convenience
tho fortunately i didn’t press call
