Sex Before And After Poem by RIC BASTASA

at my age, there is more...
before and after...

at my younger age, there is a need for more sex,

before dinner
after midnight
before dusk
after lunch

at this age of depression, all these years of tension,
so much pressure, there is a need for more sex....

before noon,
after an office meeting
before going home
after a vacation

at this moment when crisis looms, this global recession,
this legal separation, this pending divorce, this global warming problems...
there is a need for more and more sex...

before death
after another birth....
