LUST TO THE Nth DEGREE
This is where love and lust collide.
This is where I fail.
I have always failed at this.
I could never tell the difference
between lust and love.
If you knew how many times
I have come to this page
attempting to say something intelligent
something that would wash away my guilt
something that would salvage my image
but I have failed - - - yet again.
There must have been
others before me
with the same problem
trying to think it through
trying to map it
on a page of words
or on a canvas
on a graph
or on a movie screen.
I know
there had to be
others.
YES!
There were others;
Masters and Johnson,
Elaine C. Hatfield, PhD,
Mark F. Schwartz, DSc,
all listed in the
The American Psychological Association
April 2003, Vol 34, No. 4
Print version: page 57
It doesn’t absolve my confusion
or my past pains
at not knowing
not truly knowing
until I screwed things up.
How much I wish to understand
the difference.
And now I finally know
at this late point
in my life.
However,
I also know
if I were eighteen again
I wouldn’t know
the difference
between love
and lust.
Is that what God
had in mind for me?
To live in confusion
nihilism
and anarchy
against my own mind?

A PARODY
When I look at page 827 of Webster's New (1981) Collegiate Dictionary I see the word "parody."
It has two meanings and I am thankful for that.
1: a literary or musical work in which the style of the author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule.
2: a feeble or ridiculous imitation.
I am pleased to report that I am NOT attempting definition number 1.
I am just as proud to tell you that my intent matches definition number 2.
Yes. This parody that I am about to introduce is both feeble and ridiculous.
However, the introduction and the story are, it says here, both entertaining. And that is my sole purpose.
And with that said I send you to the introduction to a parody.
