Scrolling For Love
/Erotica, R-18+
Here I am;
once again
scrolling
for love.
Digital satisfaction
of an all too physical need.
Did you notice I liked your post?
Did you read my witty comment?
Did you see how I entered your DM’s?
You notice
and you respond.
Watch as our words
steadily drift
towards flirtation,
towards fun,
towards ducking.
Laugh with me at how our prudish phones auto-correct away our lust.
You ask me if I can be trusted,
I say yes.
You say
you believe me.
An image appears.
Then another.
You tell me
you’ve never done this before
but you are loving it.
I believe you.
A video appears.
Then another.
You ask me if I like it,
I say that I do.
I say that I am close.
I say that I am done,
and that it is your fault
in the best ways.
You thank me
for giving you the space
to play,
to open,
to embody the sensuality you’ve kept hidden.
I thank you
for trusting me,
for responding,
for digitally satisfying
my physiological need.
We sign off with a mutual promise;
to play again
the next time we find ourselves
scrolling
for love.
