Expansion Hurts

If you like to think of sexuality
As loving, marital, tender.......
And you don't like impersonal
Object enjoyment:
Girls gone wild, porn, fantasy play-acting....

Then stretch.
S--t--r--e--t--c--h...........
Till it hurts, (and it does)
Until your view encompasses
Both,
All,
And all seems right with the world,
And various.

If you like your music
Ordered,
Courtly,
Splashing water over rocks, interrupted by
The occasional thunderclap,
(Classical)

Then s-t-r-e-t-c-h till it hurts
(And it does)
Till your view encompasses
Heavy metal, country twang, whiny blues,
Sad, dissolute, nightlife jazzy non-tunes,
Till all seems right with the world,
And various.

If you like your politics
Holier-than-Thou,
Protective of the meek,
Pure of heart and purpose,

Then s-t-r-e-t-c-h
Until
The xenophobic,
The underhanded,
The ends-justify-the-means,
The cream must rise to the top,
Viewpoints,

Only shine for you........
As
Various.

As there is a time, for every purpose, under heaven.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Personally I hate most classical music
This is a poem about polarities, not my personal tastes.
