A Brief Histiry With Plato

A BRIEF HISTORY WITH PLATO At the beginning Plato reigned in a way they never quite explained or understood; the mutual attraction obviated thoughts of sexual satisfaction. For so long being together sharing time was enough, and in retrospect sublime; beyond that moment when Nature took the course it did, bodily coincidence foretold divorce from the friendship they had shared lovingly, eschewing known conventions, they cared for each other, defiant in the face of rumoured lust. Lust once only in the mind now turned to the dust of disappointment, racing to the point of satisfaction, stuttering to the depths of disaffection from the moment they confirmed Society’s fashion, eternal friendship sacrificed on the altar of instant passion. The lifelong friendship abandoned in momentous heat, an experience of life they can never, ever again repeat.
