TWISTED LOGIC (TWO POEMS FOR THE ROAD)

TWISTED LOGIC

I was 80 then

And wrinkles drew lines on my flesh

My wife combed my grey hair

Then I turned 35

My marriage and the pleasure of consummation ravaged my mind

Our bodies gyrating in ecstasy

At 15, I entered high school

That was when I first met her

Under the old Maple tree

I am 5 months old now

And when I remember all these years

I sadly return to my mother’s sore nipples…

He said this

She said that….
