Because I am Tactful and Lewd by Rick Kempa

In Grandma’s basement, let’s fuck
on something that doesn’t squeak,
cuz she’s not snoring like she’d
snore if she weren’t listening.
(Grandpa we won’t think about.
even if I hollered when we
came instead of biting at
the pillow Grandma made,
he wouldn’t dismount from his dreams.)
When we don’t go to town with them
to eat prime rib, I’ll holler until
the horses bolt, and the hawks kick
the fattest chick out of the nest,
and the Brahma bull comes bawling
home, and the greyhounds leave the cats
alone, and the mice spill out of
the loves of hay, and the wind blows
and blows and blows us all away.

“To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.”

- Joan Didion

Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet"-
"Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
"Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody."
