I find it beautiful to read classic novels,
to feel the indescribable lyrical satisfaction,
style so good you almost
wet your panties
philosophy, so smart!
think about the essence of being human
until the male narrator starts fantasising
of an underaged girl,
beautiful passages written of how this
plain jumper she wears
highlights
the shape of her breasts.
Oh, come on man.
But I let it slide, irritated I try
to jump back into the
rainbow petals of imagination
reading through life-changing paragraphs
cleverly criticising human overconsumption
with nostalgia,
longing,
melancholy,
surrealism
oh yes it hits that sweet spot!
More,
more,
more!
Just on the next page the two straight female characters, good friends,
(one with the big nice boobs, the other with the small nice boobs)
turn lesbian, but not because they love each other –
This is just what women do in great novels.
And in porn.
