Sex is a serious sport,
not to be undertaken lightly.
The others dive from that precipice,
thinking only of the thrill.
They will crash, inevitably,
and hurt themselves. It is an exhilarating
terror, so I want to be careful.
Anything this risky, this permanent,
obligates us to something greater
than love: commitment.
Sex changes us, mingles more
than body fluids. It is conceived
by--and exposes--love.
I step lightly, to its edge, with you.
There is nothing here to hold on to
except each other and our fright
brings us closer together.
