Genderness

Kisses 
tie our mouths 
to the complexity 
of love, 
disorienting the brain 
and dulling 
common sense. 

The seeing 
become myopic; 
missing the forest 
and 
the trees, 
altogether. 
and life, 
for a short while, 
fast tracks mankind 
with unbalanced eruptions 
of hormonal agitation 
and grand expectations. 

Their secret 
is held well 
in the genetic coding 
of a womankind 
that blends 
the faint hint 
of freshly-picked apples 
in arousing pheromones.
