The End of Sex by Michael Blumenthal



The End of Sex

It was destined to end someday
so why not bow out now, gracefully,
close enough to the top of your game
to remember what it was like? It was
after all, a lot like life--good at times,
better at others, often disappointing,
on all-to-rare occasions, unforgettable . . .

NO HURRY, POEMS 2000-2012 published by Etruscan Press

    Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind
    Cannot bear very much reality.
    Time past and time future
    What might have been and what has been
    Point to one end, which is always present. TSE, Burnt Norton

    That's the trouble with guys. Always falling back on the math and missing the moment.
