Losing One's Virginity

by Philip F De Pinto




Do all tears taste the same?
I wondered while I parched in the desert?

Who was as yet a virgin to such.
Never having shed tears before.

Do all tears taste the same?
Those wept of joy - those wept of sadness

And those wept of the crocodile?


I wondered no more as the cherry broke - finally!
I wondered no more for alas - I have tasted the triad

And can say for certain that there is a distinction twixt the three
And can say for certain that despite their distinction

They all sate the same
To a man parching in the desert

Who tasted his own tears for the first time.
Of sadness of joy and those wept of the crocodile
