Excuse me please while I indulge
naughtiness born of lust
a restlessness I’ll cater to
revel in full latitude
to which ends I can’t admit
suffice to say it was obscene
in the eyes of proper folk
not admitting to the same
this tag is made on judgment's tongue
admitting more by the unsaid
when jealousy may be implied
as virtue struggles to stay alive
freedom lives beyond these taunts
devilry on personal terms
though the actions may seem *****
compared to those who push all curves
a derivation of what’s fun
sourced in consent between two souls
or maybe more if the crowd
convenes to play in carefulness
in private spaces away from most
not advertising except to say
fellow travelers may apply
leave convention at the door.

The poem “Excuse Me Please” was inspired by a realization that the website ‘fetlife’ features quite the population of people from my local area, the same area reputed to be the buckle of the Bible Belt.
