SEX SHOP
I rolled back the stone metaphorically
went through the door
was not offended just curious
into the cave bright and cheery.
Alien, pressed packing under pin spots
an indrawn breath of dismay
at how versatile sex can be.
Orgasm ecstasy fantasy upside down
the pouting grin of a latex clown
and in perfect silence
like a cold church with colour.
A sense of dislocation in the isolation
of one ingredient, spice of life.
A shrine common to all religions
but repressed hence the stone at the door.
Preparations to increase virility
unguents to ease facility.
Presiding like a shaman in jeans
a bland enguiry came forth
and in a squalid way I sensed the
Venus and Mars conjunction with new greedy eyes
stripped of romance or vitality
deeply depressed at my curiosity.

An unusual subject for poetry. I relished the neat lines
"Preparations to increase virility
unguents to ease facility"
In short -
"Shall I compare thee to an Ann Summers' day?"
