necessary distractions

we find
distractions necessary.
sports,
shows,
movies, drink and food.
we need
to be entertained.
we need the Ferris wheel,
the big top,
the flying Zambinis.
we're not monks
up on the mountain,
how long
can we self-analyze,
stare at our
navels
and brood?
we're in it
for the long haul.
we're here to stay,
at least for a while.
give me something
to read,
someone to kiss,
something
unbland, tell
me a story,
a joke. let's dance.
swing your hips.
intrigue me with magic,
let me guess
which hand.
