This whole sex thing creeps you out
but only when you really think about it
Mostly you only think about it at a surface level
boobs, liquids, no relation to procreation
But when you stink of it in the morning,
or when someone’s bawdy comment fails to titillate
and just makes you feel a bit sick and lonely
It’s very easy to decide that people are monsters
And we should stop touching each other

to tell me that my grandad had died.
But he didn’t,
my grandad hadn’t died
My dad was just snuffly
