Analyzing Too Closely Poem by Riitta Gyllenbogel

Analyzing Too Closely



Analyzing too closely
the components of a good meal
that which
one hundredth of a second ago
was
pure pleasure
suddenly shatters into nothing more
than a collection of peculiar sensations
(like an orgasm
that went on too long)
nothing changed but perception
body continues its functions
while the mind
moving on
analyzing each sensation
wonders why this particular combination
was so much
sought after
snap out of it already and enjoy!
