ON VISITING A SEX SHOP

Retired from eden stand
eve and adam with the latest
in kama's wardrobe opposite
cathedral in eindhoven
behind red glasses
participate in dubious deals
deifying the aesthetic of lust
sell illusions in glossy covers
or see-me-through wrappers

naked nudes, plastic phalli
enlarger, lotions, super-double
ready coitus, sex hold-up
new casesstes, cartoons, orals
and all hot and cold in dark

disturb hymen with roiled insides
create thunder in marble eyes
scanning underneath each girl's clothes
sweating, sighing, staring
dribbing in the loins like a caliban
wishing to rip her dress and mount

isn't christ ashamed of wet
waist in fountain flashing
fleshly message to tired men
seeking forgiveness on sundays?
