s*x Education II
By Cynthia S.
Today was the day for my s*x ed talk
arrived on time with props.
Told the folks this won’t take long
half an hour, tops.
I tried to keep it brief
I tried to keep it simple
I made my point that STD’s
are more serious than a pimple.
We talked about the meds they take,
we talked about the props.
we smiled at each other
all these Moms and Pops.
Some struggled with what words to use,
others with their feelings,
some stared at the floor,
some stared at the ceiling.
Yet, no one left the sunny room
they stayed and stayed and stayed
talked and laughed, ate cookies
great grandmas with condoms played.
The underlying thread today
from those way up in years
the thirst for closeness, for intimacy
from old age, take the fears.
Still a serious subject,
I still will not make light,
now I see more than ever,
there’s hope for my future tonight.
