IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE

that most of the people
you see out there
have ever enjoyed
sexual intimacies
of any kind.
Who the fuck
would ever want
to be with them,
you think
to yourself,
let alone kiss
their lips
or hold
their hands?
There's no way,
you go on,
that his dick
was ever sucked
or her pussy
ever licked. No way.

But you'd be wrong.
There is someone.
Maybe you?
Maybe me?
