| The New Cavalier (revised) by Anonymous In a perfect world I could speak my desire and not be fired. In a perfect world You would not report to HR My kiss, my touch, my deep caress; And I would not be in distress At having said too much Or gone too far. In a perfect world You would know The animal roar that wilds my thoughts And shed, like so much Prada, Your shoulds and oughts. In a perfect world We would be lovers (There, I've said it.) We would feed the flame That hungers within the embers That smolder within us. We would be free to rebrand ecstasy And never regret it. We would not remember our promises to others. We would shrug off the onus of deceit, of shame. Our flawed world is a fact-- We can't perfect it. But do not expect me to act As if I accept it. (Date Unknown) DCB |
