Morning Erections

I

for it is

why


                   I arise

this morning - yearning

to witness dawn delight

so full of life inherent

coffee awakens the kitchen

of my soul, of my being

sipping a second cup

to ponder infinite possibility



II

for it is

why

                   I arise

this morning - yearning

to write these silly poems

armed with pen & imagination

I face this world gone mad

extend my erect middle finger

then turn & run fast towards

my ever-detached existence in bliss



III

for it is

why


                   I arise

this morning - yearning

to make love to her

my angel, my fair maiden

fuck her like a wild animal

who needs & alone desires

to feel her from inside

a fragrant flower of olive flesh



IV

for it is

why

                   I arise

this morning - yearning

to perch atop mountains majestic

draw every breath golden

illuminating the valleys below

with something from above

some thing other than being

one who climbs only to fall
