A Chemical Romance Poem by RIC BASTASA

Some sugar for my lips to sweeten our kiss
Some mint in my tongue to add
some herb or spice in French delights
A little salt and pepper on my cheek,
you lick me there sometimes

We close our eyes
From our million cells we generate and separate
The necessary substances

Some estrogens from you
Some androgens from me

Some digestive juices
some Adrenalines in all corners
Of our bodily organs
Needed for ecstasy and
Multiple orgasms

Do not dream, do not inject
Something like love
something Like affection,
do not involve The elements of the heart

This is just plain mixing of chemicals
Reacting, exploding in so short a time

We open our eyes; we do not ask our names
We are strangers in this chemical romance

It is over in a few minutes and then we
Leave and close gently the door behind us.
