"antedelluvian" poems
she said
"biology is ruthlessly cold, without a soul,
it makes you think
your only purpose in life....
is to reproduce"
but isn't that it?
that's the point.
to be blinded by biology, psychology.
neurotransmitters.
into reproducing happily with a partner.
someone to gently
warm you with their hand's caress
until death makes you both cold?
i remember the days,
i stumbled about the world
fooled blind by notions.
fool me again.
i learn instead
cells form tissues, organs, ***** systems, bodies.
that clench and bend with emotion and thought...
but never touch.
even when closest,
separated.
the pressure felt
our own cells squishing together
to make sure of that.
do you know...
do you know that?
we never touch...
betrayed by biology
i let science and fact go
the flood
the realization
we never touch...
we never actually touch.
and i never was actually warm.
