If it were up to me we'd cum and merge,

spontaneously combust, nova free,

the little death would take our breath and purge

the scourge of our materiality.

Our interpenetrating molecules

like wild micro galaxies colliding --

rock and roll with the family jewels --

coming down fast, brassy trombone sliding.

What are you gonna do? If love were real

it'd be like an opium dream, all bliss

forever; f*ck and die; transfigured seal

all wrapped in one long swashbuckling kiss.

Beats me why we're here and where we're going

or why you reach a high and start slowing.
