Longer-legged than a chimp,
brisk hair parted in the middle,
they look thoughtful and human
enough to drink those tropical drinks
sporting plastic umbrella swizzles.
They spend most of their time in sex.
Male on male, female on female,
brother and sister, parent and child.
Sex is their conversation,
and they never tire or bore themselves.
Tongue to tongue plus oral sex—
perverted as people but honest
enough to live outside the law.
