To the divine railway engineer
Who would be verticaling
what horizontal was,
namely this track,
hooking a chain to the train
so we won’t fall
Sex is an inverse mountain (when it’s sex you shouldn’t have)
Sex is an inverse mountain,
when it’s sex you shouldn’t have –
you coast gleefully, carefree to the top –
a bicycle ride down to the highest,
perfect view –
and Oh what a view! but then
(Oh what a view) you’re not
atop it but under it –
that was not the climb, this is,
a getting out from under and
not dying, one hopes,
from a place you should never have been.
