“Physical forwardness as intellectual high-wire act: the pleasure not of pleasure but of performance and revenge against the retainer, the flute, the stack of expectations. Sex as rebellion against the way things should be. [Sound familiar? It is. No story on Earth is more common.]”

Hayley Macmillen, from “What I Learned From No-Orgasm Sex” via Refinery29 (via bedsider)

If I Found a Wistful Unicorn by Ann Ashford and Bill Drath

If I found a wistful unicorn, and brought him to you all forlorn… Would you pet him?

If I took an empty midnight train across the country in the rain… Would you meet me?

If I picked a little flower up and put it in a paper cup… Would you smell it?

If I found a secret place to go, with you the only one to know… Would you be there?

If my cricket coughed and got the flu, and needed warmth and comfort too… Would you hold him?

If my rainbow were to turn all gray, and wouldn’t shine at all today… Would you paint it?

If my soul were feeling all alone and wasn’t near a telephone… Would you write to it?

If my clock developed nervous strain, and needed help to “tock” again… Would you fix it?

If I were to dance for you, as hard as that would be to do… Would you watch me?

If my pet turnip turned on me, and bit me fiercely on the knee… Would you bandage it?

If my nightingale were a monotone and much too shy to sing alone, Would you hum with him?

If all that I would want to do would be to sit and talk to you… Would you listen?
