Theory

We sat around for years
trying to grasp mainstream concepts.
Deities, faith, love,
genius, morals, sin,

ethics…

They’re not toothpick-speared
cheese cubes waiting for
consumption, though

gluttons can find a home.

They’re not two-for-one drinks
during a horny Happy Hour, though

drunks may argue.

They’re not addictive narcotics to
be snorted, shot or swallowed though,

junkies still can’t seem to run dry.

However, sometimes, they’re like
twenty dollar prostitutes,
convenient when needed.

Or accidentally netted dolphins,
in a remote sea,
trapped in the views of others.
