Fucking is the Wave of the Past, Present, and Future

“Fucking is the Wave of the Past, Present, and Future”


If you think about it,
I mean, if you really, really ponder it,
break it down, give it the deliberation it deserves,
you realize that that is it,
that fucking is, was, and will forever be,
the single greatest motivator in the history of human-kind,
not money,
not power,
not revenge,
and it doesn’t matter what you think,
of anything else,
you can argue, passionately invalidating my positions,
with well-thought-out explanations,
with reasoning,
with facts,
with the greatest of intellectual precision,
but you know that deep down, the only reason
it even matters,
is because you’re trying so desperately to fuck that beautiful
brainy bombshell-- who is a contradiction in terms, which in
and of itself,
is something you find alluring to no end--
that sits in the back of the room or at the end of the bar (you heard her talking about string theory and popular mechanics-- at least that’s what you pretend),
and you don’t think twice,
you acknowledge the ramifications,
pregnancy, STDs, the HIV, but it’s the notion of conquest,
of sexual prowess,
of getting your rocks off,
without guilt or the strings attached,
without love and feelings matched,
without a doubt,
fucking is the wave of the past, present, and future.
