don't take that away

theatrical innocence clings to the seats of the unavoidable audience

within the cavities feeling the sticky claustrophobia

            hanging onto the structures

            tightly woven into laughing genitalia

                                                rattle the Greeks' walls

            please let us not have age restrictions

            it discriminates against the adults who have impressionable souls and minds

                                                           

                                                            put a star on your cock

                                                                        birds are known to give stellar performances

                        don't steal my dignity

                        and of all things don't steal my lightness

between

                        me and you

                        a dance is churning e~l~e~c~t~r~i~c~i~t~y

            please don't take away

            the warmth between us

and,

            and,

                        and

                                                            the intent look

                                                            don't take that away
