a dr. like this

by ferret

for dr. cq

so when i heard
awhile back
that she had become a dr.
i was happy

for her, certainly
because i knew something
of how hard she had worked
and besides
you're just happy
for your friends
at times like this

but more than that
i was happy
for me
for the others like me
and for the world

because i thought
we really need
a dr. like this

a dr. dealing
in the field of sex
who had actually had sex
with so many people
lovingly
intelligently
and with great understanding
of how much it meant

a dr. speaking
for all of us perverts
who understood us
who was one of us
who could tell our story
who we could be proud of
a dr. with both
ideas and heart
who knew all the facts
but much more than that
knew what the facts meant
really meant
inside

a dr. who knows
all the lies and the bullshit
they pump out about sex
knows why they are lies
and why they are pumped
and gently
never stridently
rebuts these lies
and tells us the truth

a dr. who knows
that sex is who we are
and that stuff
like orientation and gender
mean just what
We think they mean
no more, no less
and that We get to define those things
or not define them
as we see fit

a dr. who had been
on a real journey
and had seen sex
from so many sides
who had fumbled with it
like all of us do
and now had a grip on it
and now held it
lovingly
in her arms

and
if i may be indulged
a personal aside
a dr. who
i had first met
in a little booth
us separated by glass
i a horny guy
stuffing bills in a slot
she a lusty lady
a real live nude girl

and i had this fun
with many women
but no one i remember
had so much fun herself
i remember her sighing
moaning
shooting
and most of all
grinning

and later i would meet her
outside her booth
get to know her lovely mind
as well as her lovely body
and see her become known
respected
a dr. and everything

but on some level
whenever i hear her speak
see her in the news
read one of her books
i'll always see her
on the other side of the glass
sighing
moaning
shooting
and most of all
grinning

yeah we really need her
w're lucky to have her
a dr. like this

a dr. this smart
a dr. this wise
a dr. this cute
a dr. this hot
a dr. this sweet
a dr. this fierce
a dr. with brains
a dr. with soul
a dr. with heart
a dr. who tells us the facts
a dr. who tells us the truth

w're honored to have her
a dr. like this
a dr. who cares
so fucking much
about fucking
