All the sexual people by Damion Hamilton


I fear them

 All the sexual bodies

 And faces

 Male and feminine energy

 All the sexual people acting out

 And doing things

 Bodies emotions and thoughts

 Clashing with each other

 Fighting and living with each other

 Pretending not be sexual people

 Ashamed and frightened of that energy

 Sexual people in banks, grocery stores, casinos

 At home watching the evening news,

 Taking selfies for Instagram

 All these sexual people

 Attractive and otherwise

 Sex everywhere.
