mutual masturbation
my mind is a crippled pear
speckled with afterthoughts
i get a little nervous and a little
tense if i don't get the punchline
but please don't open my skull
with the decadence of foreplay
ease me off my cloud of unknowing
with a gentle touch
and let it be
i still don't know how to play your tune
and if i must sing
i will drown
sinking like the sunset,
trembling like a leaf
on its way to the join the compost
of the nearly dead.
Last few words:
i deep sixed yesterday's poem...needs much attention.... so today, this though not what I wrote yesterday, is probably it with half the verbiage.

i don't know why you chose "mutual" in the title to prefix masturbation which in essence is "self" indulgence...having said that...this write vividly expresses the mindset of a poet searching for that elation / climax while streamlining his/her thoughts..at least that's the way i perceived it...
favorite lines:-
i still don't know how to play your tune
and if i must sing
i will drown
sinking like the sunset,
trembling like a leaf
on its way to the join the compost
of the nearly dead.
i thoroughly enjoyed reading this ...
