The Start of Things
by Dennis Herrell

I say civilization began
when a man doing it doggy style
and a woman knelling before him
face on the ground
decided they both
at the same time
wanted something different
something kinky
so he went on top
and she went under
both face to face
and it was so much fun
watching each other laugh
that God declared it good.
