charming abused women:
Moon with her sail full of myths,
trickery and slippery hope,
moon in a fever of insomnia,
charming flaws and
half-hearted,
grainy light,
beautiful and broken
like the world it
spills into . . .
This sounds like the perfect fuck medicine, that a lot of women offer up from their astrological calculations. I’ve always been enamoured by astrological women – especially in the beginning. But after the honey-moon phase of fucking for six or seven months, you always make the discovery that they are deeply flawed.
And a great many of them, despite their beautiful physical form – have been deeply abused at some point in their past. And they tend to want to relive their anal sexual abuse, which always comes out at some point in conversation – around the sixth or seventh month.
And as a front-door kind of guy, that kind of thing always comes to me as a warning sign. And I think to myself – why do you want me to fuck you in the ass?
It screams out to me – Damaged Goods – Something is very fucked-up here.
That said, I’ve obliged from time to time, but it’s not my thing. And I always absolutely feel disgusted with myself afterward.
I feel disgusted – because I allowed myself to be drawn into her endless fantasy of reliving some abusive moment of her past.
And I feel like I am extending that abuse into the present, by helping her to relive it.
And that’s when it finally comes to me, that there’s nothing I can do to help this person… so long as she is intent on reliving her abusive past… be it by drawing me into it as an actor… or whiling me with her smiles… or persuading me by her honey-talk.
And they always tend to be incredibly persuasive… even if you run into them two or three years later, in the very bar that you initially met them.
And if you happen to fuck around with them again, they always draw you back into the same old trip.

It’s in your blood:
No matter what, keep writing… it’s pure medicine. It has kept me going more times than I can count. And I’m sure that’s true for a whole lot of people who write. It’s a form self medication. And it can right the course of our ship more often than not. So keep with it. You've got a clear expressive quality. It’s in your blood.
the essence in four lines:
I've bled my last – give a fuck
Forgotten what feeling felt like
No heart strings left to cut
Now there's only fade to numb
This – this is the brilliant heart of it.
These four lines are the perfect poem, just by themselves.
let it lap and fill you:
Sometimes when darkness becomes a harbour, we need only lay back and stop navigating, to feel the warm sensuous lap of the sea.
the fundamental impulses always remain intact: As I grow older, I become deeper inclined to believe that Nature is a finely choreographed dance of sexual impulses – not far removed from the postulations of Sigmund Freud. Sexual energy is both a dynamo – and the impulsive glue, energizing and holding it all together.
And it transcends whatever age we may be, as those fundamental impulses always remain intact.
THank you, and please forgive: THank you, and please forgive my delay in reply. I am hospizatlized at the moment with septic blood, and sometimes irrgegular heartbeat.

I am grateful for your understanding and validation of my intentions in the poem.
I seriously doubt the validity..: I seriously doubt the validity of this poll. 92% said no to Bush? Where have all the red-blooded American men gone? Are they all so intimidated by the 'woke' movement that they can't even acknowledge their primal desire to get with a member of the opposite sex? I'll tell you one thing, this overweight, out-of-shape middle aged American male will never say no to Bush. Ever!
