for every thing there is a place

for everyone— a purpose

       poets find poetry

       as lovers find love— 

their very nature

draws their beloved to them

       as a car mechanic finds

       their car

to repair

as the captain of a ship guides

       her to harbour

       so too do the objects of

your desire

seek you.

       no doubt

       that a good paycheck is

important: we all need

roofs over our heads

       but somewhere 

       beyond these walls

waits your beloved in a satin dress

hungry for your touch—

        a touch nobody else can

        substitute 

my friend, there is some hunger

in this world only your being

       can fill.
