This train (of thought) is not bound for glory

Scandinavian daydreams
                before Swedish Erotica nightfall
Impotent ramblings about
                unpaid gambling debts
Viagra-fuelled bacchanals
                under undulating chuppahs
Spontaneously combusting groupies
                with hearts afire
Electric blue walls of kilowatt
                per channel surround sound
Brocken spectres captured
                on high-speed film
Inflexible inflections of
                cross-border dialogue
Standing one's ground in
                the face of old pheromones
Leaning towards audacity
                when accused of rapacity
Feigning incapacity to mask
                one's duplicity
                or
Felicity under the greenwood tree
                lying next to me
Promethean in her adoption
                of alien virtues
With her spirit unbowed and
                her bodice unbound
She and I in communion
                devoutly unmawkish
No hawkish sentimentality
                muddying the waters
Once indivisibly frozen in
                normative cubiform avatars
Which I formerly mistook for
                the cold comfort of theophany
