An Understanding of Us

Sara Totten
 

 

Reach out
and touch the same sex
or touch the other sex.
The next sex
will make you obsolete.

Act on impulse
And see what comes
Touch skin to skin
Lip to lip
Merge life with life
and realize
you are not one.

One can never be.
You are you
and they are they.
Heart to heart
or hand to hand.
Intertwining is not a joining.

It's an act
that fills the senses.
Over powers the emotions.
And plays
on one's fears.

Leave behind the other.
Go in search of yourself.

Then return.

Begin at the beginning
with a better understanding
of "US."
