Stoning and Boning

Looking in each other’s eyes
we’d have what I like to call, 
completely competitive conversations. 
Nether one of us conceding the point.
Back in the day, 
this would go on  until 
one of us would pull out a joint.
Not exactly a peace offering.
But it was an excuse to call a truce.
Putting us in a relaxed the mood,
as both of us wanted to get screwed. 
The wild animal in us needed to get lose. 
So, we would put that good high to use.
That night, the music was just right, 
and we didn’t always  turn off the lights.
After three or four rounds of marathon love making.
Creative animal calls
and neighbors banging on the walls.
Nine months later,
my son was born, 
as the result of two people  having a good time.
We found shelter in the Radio show  
called the Quiet Storm.
Now some may think   
this a little bit tame. 
And others will think  
this just a little bit insane.  
How our conversations  
would end up with us 
passionately calling each other’s name.
