Critic in the backroom, a poem.

‘I did it!,
I did it!
I’ve gone celibate!’

(Ah, that’s what you say
to all the guys and gals!
then next Tuesday it’s off
to the orgies again!)

‘Do you dought me?’

I’m free of being sexually
attached,
free to explore….anything….

(But liar, you’re not gonna
miss phalluses and vaginas?’

The pleasure?

The worship?

The touch of flesh?)

Now you be quiet Eugene in the backroom,
or I’ll be free of you too!

Learning how to be a better human being through poetry, prose and my journal. Still working on a better life in San Diego, CA..... Truth is, I am just another human among eight billion other folks on planet Earth. I've been told that my poetry is dark. I practice poetry.
