Shallow Poem

I’d give it all up;

my shallowness,

my defences,

my usual pretenses,

for a lifetime

of sex with you.

 

I wouldn’t get tired,

or bored

or distracted from view

I’d be happy

to screw and screw.

 

With more sucking

and licking

I’d explore

this inbuilt part

to please and adore.

 

With you in bed,

I know

what I am,

I am what I am,

your Bonobo man.

 

I’d give it all up;

my shallowness,

my defences,

my usual pretenses,

for a lifetime

of sex with you.
