the downside in poetry

the downside to living in a porno movie is
you can never get your plumbing fixed or
actually get a pizza delievered to you
it always just ends up as sex

your cable’s always on the fritz
your pool is always dirty
you never get your mail
it’s always just sex sex sex
eventually you gotta do non-sex stuff
to stay alive and sane
but it never happens

if you can manage to get out to the store
you’ll never be able to buy bread or milk or cabbages
it’s just melons cucumbers and sausages
if you can manage to not just end up
having sex behind the deli counter to begin with

sex is really great for an hour or two a day
but if you’re living in a porno movie and
unless you’re sleeping you’re having sex
you’re exhausted and you’re hungry and
your house is just a fucking mess
from all the messy fucking and
you never even pay your bills and
when the repo men come to repossess
they don’t even do that
it just all ends in sex

all in all I would not want to
live inside a porno movie unless
it’s only for an hour or two a day
if that was possible, I mean
of course
I will be there to deliver the groceries
to you and your roommate who just got out of the shower
