Painful Insulation
I've often lamented
that an older gent
can't love
or even lust
at someone
much younger
without being
labeled
a "dirty old man"
Social stigma
discrimination
against my team
For here I am
in the Autumn of my life
in the Autumn of my life
and I still secretly fantasize
like all guys do
only now the girls
are young enough
to be my daughter
totally unacceptable
And I just can’t help
but internally throb
like all guys do
but now
I'm labeled
middle age
inappropriate
a leering creepy perv
if I do not suppress
my desires
as stealthily as I can
Not a healthy situation
No wonder so many
of us drop dead
of heart attacks
trying to hold back
the raging hormonal flood
with a flimsy dam
full of holes
but internally throb
like all guys do
but now
I'm labeled
middle age
inappropriate
a leering creepy perv
if I do not suppress
my desires
as stealthily as I can
Not a healthy situation
No wonder so many
of us drop dead
of heart attacks
trying to hold back
the raging hormonal flood
with a flimsy dam
full of holes
