BELOW THE BELT: A Tribute to Phillip Roth Sometimes I am a dick A throbbing, pulsing Rod of Desire A fire engine rushing frantically To quench the flames of passion And heat of fiery instinct Then I become A stiff, slick two-stroke piston Racing in and out And finding consummation When my throttle is wide open Passing beyond all speed limits Engulfed in flame. Miok: All men are dickheads in some way. Chris: Yes. We must overcome our programming and strive to be human – not an easy task. Cantara: Why not? Chris: Instincts are often powerful. Rare is the soul that transcends all instinct. Cantara: Why is it necessary to transcend anything? Why not just be natural and relax? Chris: You have to answer that yourself. If I give you an answer, it amounts to preaching – and that's not what I wanna do. Tim: I dunno. There is nothing wrong with being erotic now & then – but to get stuck in any particular condition is tragic. . . ===================================================================================== from Heart Scenes: Emotional Landscapes via Art, Poetry, & Prose by T Newfields Summary: A pictorial poem about penile identity and conversation about instinct.
