Infusible Inclusion

Colin James


                              Making love to is
                              like attending an opera
                              with a bunch of ducks.
                              The aria has just ended.
                              It was quite beautiful.
                              The soprano mourns in the quiet
                              her lover emphatically dead,
                              and the house is now silent.
                              Then you hear the first quack.
                              A long pause then another.
                              A shorter pause and another, another.
                              Eventually a house full of quacking ducks.
                              Would that I could satisfy myself.
                              Orgasms are definitely overrated.
