Porn

The screen flickered once
Then jumped into action
In the midst of a scene
Of obscene interaction
Contorted bodies
Connected impossibly
With overdubbed cries
Of gross animality

So this is porn

Captivating at first
But quickly unreal
Shapes slotted together
Like Ikea furniture

I felt for the woman
No mystery or charm
Could survive such an onslaught
No sensuality
Or tenderness
It really was
As they always stress
Demeaning

I cursed my curiosity
This lust abomination
Then quickly switched
To a rival station
