Loud rock music in the midnight steamy air, <br />Beer bottles and lust in the city, <br />Girls dance on barroom tables <br />And sway sweetly beneath streetlights; <br />Everyone is intoxicated with joy and desire, <br />Trying to live a thousand dreams in a single night, <br />Trying to compress a hundred orgasms <br />Into the excitement of a few happy movements of breath. <br /> <br />More often than not, we get the straightjacket life, <br />Insults and painful insinuations, the cutting knife, <br />The gloomy responsibilities of adulthood <br />That rot the soul, but what a lovely smile <br />In the brief hour of pleasure that causes the world <br />To temporarily disappear with her shrill cruel voice.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/compress-a-hundred-orgasms/
