Itching To Be Scratched

Like an itch halfway down your back, 
                   unreachable, itching to be 
                         furiously scratched,

       you wish you could just peel off your shirt,
                  lean hard against the edge 
                       of an oaken cabinet

            and rub any thought of her finally off 
                 and away from your  hopelessly
                           infatuated mind;

            strange, but you seem to have taken 
                     to liking the soothing pain 
                               of the scratch,

         now, you find yourself gyrating, drooling
                     at the slightest thought 
                        of a wooden touch !
