Sex - Black; A touching you didn’t know existed (John Berger)

Of course John, black and sex

How could you not think of them together

Why, didn’t we all get married in black suits

And go to raucous society do’s in black ties

Don’t modern girls crave a little black dress


And just how far is it John

From parading our wanton sexuality

(In whatever black robes we can muster)

To where black suggests something stronger

About desire, passion, negligence, indulgence


Is that why she screamed at you John

Had the black taken you a little too far
