One Poem Neither One

Wouldn’t it be fun
If someone could think
Nothing about love

Or sex without love,
Or love without sex—
None of the above?

Sure, they’re important.
Bodies need bodies
To hold, to cherish,

Feel safe, feel wanted,
Make more bodies or
Find some fun in flesh.

But leave off a bit,
Can’t you? Can’t you think
Of something to do

With us, with language,
That’s nothing to do
With what you all long

For from each other,
Bodies from others,
Lover by lover?
