The aliens must laugh so hard

{written during my single period, after my separation from my first husband. I was rather confused with the world and feelings in general, and sex in particular. Not so much has changed since then}




All that energy misdirected
All that energy purely wasted

Years spent worrying (tears and yells)
from wonderful people
about wonderful people

who just can't communicate

People who feel lonely living
just feet apart from
people who feel just the same

but can't connect.

Love

Sex

mix 'em all (add 'em all)
confuse us all and leave us all
in the dark, panting
wondering
what it was all about.

We are clueless.

Kids with adults' bodies.

The aliens must laugh so hard
watching from above
the endless dance of this curious tribe.

And my heart is tired
and my body is confused
and my mind is sick.

Is there a way out?
