Poetry: Untouchable

Untouchable ... You know those 'special needs'-kids?
The ones you love ... IF they're over there?

I had to really know how they feel;
Became one; cannot "unbecome"; and you don't care.

You don't care that I had to conquer death
To learn the miracles I know.

You don't care how ingenious I have now become,
Because-in telling you-I am 'too slow' ...

Too slow to be worthy of fulfilling desire
Though desire-fulfillment is what I do best.

But-looking Untouchable-the most "action" I get
Is incidental caress of way-over-clothed chest.

Now I see how the lepers felt-not truly sick!-
Only behaving dirty and fondling too much;

To be Christos, should know that infection's unlikely;
Just know you can make Clean everything that you touch.

    on all she gazes upon
    from her towering temple.

    The pedestal on

    I'll close my eyes
    And you move me closer, into your arms
    Where I belong in an invisible disguise
    And I hold you in the despair

    I met a boy with
    an Untouchable Face.
    He had a smile like Stars
    and eyes like the ocean.
    His hair was like feathers in chocolate,
    all
