If it is impossible to promise <br />absolute fidelity, <br />this is because <br />we learn so much geography <br />from the shifting of one body <br />on another. <br /> <br />If it is impossible to promise <br />absolute fidelity, <br />this is because <br />we learn so much history <br />from the lying of one body <br />on another. <br /> <br />If it is impossible to promise <br />absolute fidelity, <br />this is because <br />we learn so much psychology <br />from the dreaming of one body <br />of another. <br /> <br />Life writes so many letters <br />on the naked bodies of lovers. <br />What a tattoo artist! <br />What an ingenious teacher! <br /> <br />Is it any wonder we appear <br />like schoolchildren dreaming: <br />naked <br />& anxious to learn?<br /><br />Erica Jong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/going-to-school-in-bed/
