A Warm Recollection

When I’m in bed with you I don’t give a shit
about brushing my teeth.
I don’t give a fuck about waking up for work,
or about getting enough sleep.
Fucking hard on my soft bed,
I feel an intimate connection to the dead,
countless, unknown people who came before me,
my entire ancient family tree, back to the trees.
Picturing the stone, and the embers of the fire in the cave,
and the straw mats and the feather beds,
of the dead kings and the dead slaves,
and then the car seats, and the couches,
and all the centuries of sex with no protection,
my body fills up with the wonderful feeling
of escaping rejection
and this warm recollection of ancestral affection, uh huh...

Somewhere in the deep unwritten future,
rich people overcome death.
They spend their endless lives time traveling backward,
just to watch us have sex.
They don’t have bodies anymore,
breathing starts seeming like a chore,
after a few thousand years.
There’s not much excitement in a life without fear of Death.
So they wish they were us:
Bumbling through selfish lives and selflessly returning to dust.
And having good reasons to love and to hate
and to hope and create
and to lust.

There’s even less meaning
in a life without rust.
