POETRY - ROMANTIC: But for Fortuity

But for Fortuity

we'd be continuing our separate lives

together on opposite sides of the forty-ninth parallel

never knowing the other breathes or plays

discriminating traveler in the political

differences across the invisible border.

Fun-loving but serious lovers in an

unparodistic affair, we present far-

flung artistic flesh montages with our

bedroom-living-room-shower-kitchen-inside-outside

acrobatics and become romanticized performers

challenging those ethical norms with our didactics.

We encourage the hedonistic behavior previously

repressed and disruptive as opposed to that

conventionally acceptable and accepted.

Now that we are together, let our

manifesto be to transvalue

some of the antiquated—

wait! Do we really care if anybody gets it?
