Poem: Out of Place

 

Out of Place

 

questions lurch,

born in cocktails

with lewd names.

 

those of us with minds

as guarded as soda water

do not know the answers.

 

we appraise wastelands

of sassy youth,

wanting to be part of the grunt,

 

but unable to sway

like these sexy philosophers,

who broach casual taboos

 

and do not sing of fear.

 

we stare

as if stunned by godlings

agile and immune.  how easily

 

they stalk pleasure for hours,

devouring each other,

chasing necks.

 

when they die

they moan up again, half destroyed,

and the rest lovely, toned,

 

supple with war.
