Experiment
in the 8th grade
Spawned by the miracle of yearning
at a time when boys and girls learn to play,
together in an awkward dance of attraction
seeking acceptance through inspired antics.
No longer the dreaded source of cooties
nor an unknown alien from a distant galaxy
but the sublime object of wanting and desire.
driven by those unknown hormones, which
promote strange displays of aberrant behavior
resembling the primitive mating dances
of some exotic strange animal.
Our gender opposites now occupy
our every thought and action
in an attempt to attract just one.
The ultimate trick of chemistry.
