To have and to hold so
the old story’s told,
Before they used to call it
just keeping company with
someone. Now what used to turn into
marriatge is not part
of those vows anymore.
What used to be going steady
turned into shacking up
until someone was packing up
to meet someone else
for a sneaky rendezvous.
How can you be going out
when you don’t even drive a car?
Going together?
Where, to biology class?
One night stands were
fun little trysts until
one decided just friends
might be better, and that way
“we can have other flings”.
Hanging out is similar to
friends with benefits
which means you can do
the mattress dancing with
all of your so called
beneficial friends.
Agreeing philosophically
to call it completely platonic
that way intercourse
can just be called fu****g
with no love involved.
What all of it boils down to
is it doesn’t really matter
what you want to call it;
In the end, it’s all just called
sex.
