Written while Kayaking (Other) by Sasha
I was born to this desert, these swift dunes
Of water, the dull loudness of the gull
Where I am primal once again and if
The soul cries out, the body moves in answer.
Here I evolve to build my clan of one,
Entouraged by the splashes of the paddle,
Till owning it with purest monarchy
Enthroned in my red boat on my blue realm...
Such the vast arrogance of being alone
Even for the obese Narcissus with
A hot duped harem on his buddylist,
Whose bunk IMs compose a stud while these
Who twine in bed with average love behold
Each in the other an illusory god.
Iâve learned to hate so blatant a self-love
With all its pettiness and wonât enjoy
Such hours of respite from reality
When truth and flab are nicely held at bay.
Still itâs a kind of comfort to believe
You see yourself with foreign eyes and know
That you posesss what beauty you percieve,
Whatever else the jurying mirror show:
Nice eyes. a sucked-in gut. a unibrow.
