Not an Orgasm by Jason Reihl
I come to you
you consume my name
and dull my senses
I'd do the same

I come to you
you procure my pain
and lure away solely
I'd do it again

I come to you
(you always take me)
I come to you
(you always wake me)
and if you'd come
I'd do the same
but I guess I'd be better
if I never came

JASON REIHL, reihw@sk.sympatico.ca, had some of his work on CBC Radio (Night Lines from Vancouver) in 1994. He lives in Regina, Saskatchewan, works at a life insurance company, and is a single (non-custodial) dad. He falls in love at least once a week but hasn't had a date in two years. His two favorite stanzas of all time are from an excerpt from "Color-blind" ( F. Scott Fitzgerald). His favorite book is The Island of the Day Before by Umberto Eco and my favorite movie is Brazil. Sorry about all the "favorites", but his sense of a bio was formed by reading his older sister's Tiger Beat magazines when he was a kid. You can see more of Jason's work at The Poetry Pavilion. and Creative Cove
