#657 - the flying fuck

the flying fuck

 

is never given

call this point in principle

we take up from here

 

and still

dragonfly

butterfly

blowfly perhaps

 

that it should be coupled

with the rat’s arse

is grotesque

 

yet

consider the courtship cartwheel flight

of the aerobatic bald eagle

 

or the common swift

as if allergic to the planet

 

frigatebirds are ones to nap on the way

these so rarely setting down

 

and as for we wingless fucks…

 

though there is the mile high club

(apocryphal except in porn)

and there’s head over the heels

of course over the moon

 

Cloud 9

(or pick a number)

 

merely sometimes

sent into orbit

with the weightlessness of love

(heavy hearts for later)

 

but I think you see how it is…

you can dance around the flying fuck

it remains a fact  

 

Attila, according to – I think it was – Gibbon

had his meals

his sword slaughter

his mating and the nod off after

all in the saddle

 

picture a Pegasus

you get the idea

 

and what then

if I really care?

 

imagine us all up with it

hard at it

breathless

bonny

all up in the air
