Back from hiatus, my sex drive is a sitcom<\/p>\n
on its second chance, the time off making it<\/p>\n
a kinky little sycophant, more Charles in Charge<\/em><\/p>\n than Fame<\/em>. My sex drive loves the 80s: big hair,<\/p>\n synthesizers, neon, and torn sweatshirts. It wears<\/p>\n wristbands, walks like an Egyptian,<\/p>\n whistling with gusto, because it used to be down<\/p>\n on itself, its mercurial nature, its spells of despondency.<\/p>\n Now, it deep throats itself when it\u2019s ornery, gets itself off<\/p>\n and texts me the evidence if I leave it alone too long.<\/p>\n My sex drive wants us to make a lot of babies.<\/p>\n All the babies. Platoons of babies<\/p>\n riding rafts of babies, slipping out of my vagina<\/p>\n and onto the shores of the living, middle fingers raised.<\/p>\n When I beg to differ it tells me to shut up,<\/p>\n it\u2019s Charles, and it\u2019s in charge of my days and my nights.<\/p>\n My sex drive has had enough of snooze.<\/p>\n It sidles up to strangers, singing<\/p>\n I\u2019m gonna live forever!<\/em>\u00a0 They look on in pity.<\/p>\n It sings nonstop. Its voice like a water-hose<\/p>\n baking all day in the sun,<\/p>\n it comes on hot, then cold, so cold,<\/p>\n downright mean the more you turn it on.<\/p>\n Back from hiatus, my sex drive is a sitcom on its second chance, the time off making it a kinky little sycophant, more Charles in Charge than Fame.
