Li(fe)bido
posted by Mark Lyndon Pautz, Saturday, January 30, 1993
Driving my car down a suburban road
I didn't know where I was going.
Looking so far down this well driven track
I thought there's no way of knowing
How my life has got me this far
With luck and with pain and with anguish.
Now with wife a dog and three cats
My libido I no longer brandish.
-
Life's only fun was sex and drink
Throughout my wild adolescence.
Wife's only son now pains my butt
I no longer can sow my essence.
She's a bitch too I say to myself
How the hell did I get here?
Please a rich lover is all that I need
But damn this AIDS that I fear.
Today I suffer through pre-middle age
Acquiring cystitis and weight.
I pray and offer psalms to our Gods
That I will still be able to mate
With the beautiful bimbos sent to torment
The Pavlovian dog that I harbour.
Myth of dutiful erection soon dispelled
My Lords why can't I get harder?
-
All said and done at the end of the day
My lifebido is ebbing and waning.
Fall onto hand in wild fantasy
Onan stops me from insaning
My whole existence and image of self
And pushing it into hiatus.
Fly off resistance I still feel young
In my mind a virtual Priapus.
Thinking myself into the future:
January 30, March 31, April 19 and July 1, 1993
Pretoria, South Africa.
