"Passion"

He wants to be excited again
like Japanese beetles
coupling among the ferns
and hollyhocks,
dropping beside themselves
in sex-scented traps,
their irridescence deepening
to a smothering stink.
He wants to be among the few
that whir up out of the bag
and back again, willfully undone.

3. I think most times that

we all want to be among the few . . .

4. And when we aren't feeling the passion, it always seems like those who are

make up only an excruciatingly exclusive "few."
