The dirtiest part of your body April 2012

 

She says she wants to see it,

 even if Frank Zappa said it was

not the dirtiest part of the body,

and not at all what I would want to see,

although I'm not her, and she's not here,

 and I hold it in the dark, feeling its warmth,

 and it's throbbing, the ache of it

going deep down into me

as she asks me to transmit,

no way for her to feel the power of it

 the way I do,

via pixels and airways over what it will need

 to go to jump from the dark room where i sit

 and the lofty space she waits in to receive it,

 she cannot know how it trembles as I hold it,

how it has a mind of its own,

she is never going to understand its pain

 at such a distance, this potency,

this need, this thing my palms surround

as if something holy,

certainly precious,

 an object of desire I send off

with the push of button.
