I hold my body in
various contortions
on a spinning hoop
suspended from the
ceiling.
I'm digging up basic
knowledge of things like gravity
and momentum
in the attempt to
provide an answer
other than, “I just
do it. It just works.”
Even something as
simple as walking
is said to involve two
hundred muscles.
We aren't generally
conscious of the process
of taking a step.
An audience that has
athletes
or former dancers in it
can more easily tell
what is actually a difficult manoeuver,
and they all notice
if you neglect to point
a toe.
Their applause is the sound of people who have judged
with a critical eye and found you acceptable,
not the sound of blind,
unconditional love
from an audience that
is purely there to be entertained.
They want to know how
male performers keep their erections
and ejaculate on cue.
I want to know why
people ask me this question
as I quite obviously do
not have a penis.
They want to know the
secret to enjoying having a dick in their butt.
I once again have no
answers.
Either your body enjoys
being anally penetrated
or it doesn't.
If your butthole likes
having things in it,
go forth and enjoy.
If it doesn't,
then you should
probably listen to your body
and leave your anus
to its main purpose of
excreting waste.
If you're trying to
placate
a boyfriend who won't
stop nagging you
about fucking you
in the ass,
then he himself is an
asshole, and I'd suggest
he go fuck himself.
While there definitely
is value
in studying the science
behind the physical
abilities of performers and athletes,
there's a certain
beautiful magic
in the idea
that something about
all those lights and eyeballs
pushes us
to just make it work.
