Man, was I lost...

the kind of lost
where you can’t remember
what you went looking for.
in the vast expanse of virtual space,
buttons and banners barking
promises of satisfaction
and worse…
i was in the adult sector
here comes the shock to the system.
it was all a little unsettling
like the first time on the midway
all the rules have changed
Step Right Up
Madam Dizzy will guess your weight
Watch the monkey dance
Three shots for a dollar
Catch as Catch Can
and the Hoochie Koochie Show.

some boys spend all their money,
finish school, get a job,
and settle down with Mary.
others run away and join the circus.
or just wonder.
and that’s how I ended up
at the Hoochie Koochie tent,
one more time.
and that’s how this story started.
looking for an echo
i was looking for
a new way to look
at that most elusive of themes…
the one who is not available,
accessible, or obtainable...
