bachelor's closet

far from being a psychological assessment
nor reproductive in nature
not as a domesticated issue
these statements are sweeping generalizations
where an accident-prone,
single,
none smoker,
pieces'n
geographer
is subject to some antibiotics
and is becoming sensational
as the hottest bachelor in town

there is something common
about this man and his refrigerator
they chill out
as they come into contact
with something hot
like women, bikinis and macaronis
what a man keeps inside his chiller
may speak of his appetite for life
curiosity about women
and the way he makes love
bacon egg and ham for a standard taste
tomatoes and pesto for some juicy feel
chilly and spicy burritos for hot stormy nights
wine and cheese for the romantics
strawberries for wishful thinkers
veggies and fruits for celibates
box of rubbers for the STD paranoids
cookies and cream to top it all
as camouflage to the recluse perversions
of illicit sexual taboos
in small close-nit neighborhood
where a man can end up sick
with limited supply of good sex
so he has a valid excuse
to stay in bed

with frozen testicles
but the lucky one
may get enough supply of
good bacteria
so the live enzymes shall
nourish the weak
for he has to work
to prove himself
effective and efficient
before he burns out
from the clichés in the office
one excuse maybe
for a sick man to liberate
his wild sexual fantasies
is to post pictures all around his pad
so he is surrounded by passionate
memories
enough to sustain
his homesickness
and the deep longing
for a mother's touch
when a lover is out of bed
it is understandable for a man
to make a mess
outside and inside his closet
for it is a vulnerable nature
for a man to care for one main course
stick to the regular menu and tame it
when his restlessness to a woman's smell
is hard to contain and can be as
dangerous and cruel
as the wild cat
running after a rat
or as ruthless as the female
praying mantis that devours
a lover after mating
so for the young and restless
it is the game of endless
masturbation or book swapping
so he may learn to entertain himself
from the adventures and story of Pi
and lo! fine music save his soul
to survive another night
in a claustrophobic room
the reader may choose
to take this as a personal testimony
or simply an emancipation
nothing of a personal circumstance
but rather a lamentation
of agonizing lonely nights
just like when male papayas
walk around
wishing for an asexual encounter
to anything wrapped with a skirt
take a married man's account
for example
who feels and acts like a bachelor
when it seems imperative
to have affairs outside marriage
makes sensational tales of
cheap engagements
with women who work at night
then what do women do
when a pair of breasts
won't be enough to sustain a man
and only sex matters
to keep them around

so i pray to the great maharlikans
and the sacred Shiva lingam
to bless men the power of
the one
so they can liberate themselves from
countless forms of addiction
and maybe if not as disparate
find true love
and stick to one
but be careful what you put inside
your refrigerator..
