Love in the 21st Century

or,
Safe Sex Via Technology

(a poem for adults)

by

i lie down on my bed and soon
i start to touch myself;
and floating overhead, the moon
rests neatly on her shelf.

the windowsill is high enough;
i leave the curtains open.
no one sees me in the buff.
i heave, in earnest hoping…

somewhere flying miles above,
a satellite observing.
electric eye to catch my love;
a spy most undeserving.

along another axis lay
a room with many views.
its monitors see many play,
like me, and maybe you.

and in that room, a silent girl
undoes her belt and probes
for the spot that makes toes curl,
that only holy lobe.

she watches as i think of her
and bathe myself in fingers;
her monitors begin to blur,
and purring she will linger.

and somewhere very far away,
somebody’s all alone.
if only they knew in some way
they’ve partners of their own.

By jae

jae lethe (he/she/they) is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) She has plans. BIG plans.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.
