Sex Has A History

did you taste those women she went with
when you went with her, when you kissed her

we do not wear condoms when we kiss
no condom to stick the tongue in

we stick our tongue into an open mouth
wet mouth, open for a kiss, for our kisses

why is no food sweeter than sex and kisses

though all we swallow are the sauces or the thrills
shuddering with tenderness, ejaculating into a condom

a woman going with a woman
needs no condom to come in

what is there to condemn or to contaminate
or to climb, swimming into the human race
into a human being

out swimming all the other swimmers
in the Olympics
