Caveat Lector

by Edward Ahern

Some books are heavy on my mind,
pressing down enough for me to squirm
as memories seep out and leave a rind,
as awkward feelings surge like sperm

Pressing down enough for me to squirm
as unfamiliar thoughts arise and lurk
and awkward feelings surge like sperm
and tidy poses rip apart and run berserk.

After unfamiliar thoughts arise and lurk
and bondages unravel and unbind,
those tidy poses rip apart and run berserk.
Some books are heavy on my mind.
