How Does It Come

Oh lust How does it come? How does it wax? Like the wind Or like the rain; Like the dawn Or like the dusk; Like the first stain of pubertal menstruation Or like the rapid squirt of hormonal secretion? Oh lust How does it keep? How does it glow? Like a candle Or like magma; Like the sun Or like the moon; Like the secure knowledge of contraception Or like the private pleasure of masturbation? Oh lust How does it go? How does it wane? Like the wind Or like the rain; Like the dawn Or like the dusk; Like the guilty pang of infatuation Or like the flaccid flop of a lost ********?

Clever and witty as well, in a sense! I suppose, finally it all boils (cools) down to lost lust! // paul
