AN ORGIASTIC MINDSET

a gathering of people at a nudist party 
private/ yes privacy is the key 
by invitation only 
we're here taking in each other's nakedness 
intoxicated with the way we present our true 
selves stripped to the skin
without any pretense of artificiality

here is a unique day of affirming the meaning 
and value of our existences 
at this party for six 
three of each sex

individual differences in physiognomy are not what 
are important;
state of mind as a precursor to act is the vitality 
at the core of everyone assembled here

someone says something to break the ice/ 
hands begin to stray 
the mind focuses on sexual indulgence and pleasure 
taking only

it's like a chain of dominoes this gathering for lust's sake 
hit the first one and they all fall

one woman who has no previous experience with anything 
like this
feels anxiety and uncertainty/ 
the others feel it too and unconsciously promise her 
only the best of possible initiations

let fate take its course 
it is she who will emerge remade...
