memoirs of maggie mead: an anthropological apology

by l. larson

xx meets xy,
genetically speaking.
xy is a hunting & gathering soul.
(which means he springs for beer).
xx is the bitch goddess, blonde & blue-eyed
(which means she brings the birth control).

& in they wade, unceremoniously splashed.
children of experience escape delirious, 
daydreaming of apples & adders 
scaling their chutes & ladders,
while the honey coated music hums:
VOID-if-DETACHED-VOID-if-DETACHED-VOID-if-DETACHED.

a crescendo -- catch that wave! --
of resonating innuendo.
gidget mommy shindig splendid
gartered or bikini clad.
daddy-o resident transcendent 
in seas of whiskeyed sweat & insect repellent.

they look like tadpoles.

somebody spread the word 
up & down the beach:
ozzie & harriet are buried in the sand.
with reason far from reach,
summer sun simmering mad
so close to skin & tongues & coaxing hands.

a memo to:  masters & johnson 
from: annette & cubby
