foreplay

sometimes
the meal
won't do,
sometimes
you need
to skip
the salad,
the appetizers
of shrimp
or crab,
say no
to the bread,
the fish
or steak.
the pasta.
or even a
hot bowl
of soup,
sometimes
you need to
go straight
to dessert,
to know
the meaning
of life, or
at least
what's next
on the menu
for me
and you.
