..........

...........pation writhes

between shiny brown

visquine coated walls

demanding "lips!"

"WE WANT LIPS!"

in innocent, underage abandon.

No alcohol is needed

to make room in the mind

for joy.

Macho jocks parade in eyeliner

and heels

as their almost "virgin" dates

prematurely ejaculate

with water pistols

on the butcher paper protected

(like safe sex)

screen, still glaring white.

 

"we want lips,

We Want Lips,

We Want LIPS,

WE WANT LIPS,

WE WANT LIPS,

WE WANT LIPS,

WE WANT LIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

the chant begins to grow.

and a hundred undergraduates,

from places as diverse as Korea, Kansas and Kotsebue,

varying in race, sex, and opinions,

are now one churning body,

with a single mind.

Now,

ill focused lips

smear the screen

with crimson oral fixative

while browned nipples slip

and peek their eyes above

boned bustiers stretched taut around

torsos of mixed gender

all tongues shout

that they long to taste

Janet's apple pie

as artificial rain

softly caresses the viewers

with shared moisture

like cool sweat

a gentle submersion

to baptize the virgins

in the RKO pool

of desire.
