Sticky bits are seductive
They are repulsive
Arousing desire they draw us into their nooks and crannies
Inviting exploration
In food, nature, the body
Moist petals nestle amongst glistening beads
Fat lips and swollen cherries
Flesh squeezed into soft folds
Providing a funhouse of pleasure and play
Sticky bits are infantile
Defy good taste
Uncontrollable
Primitive
And vulgar
They evade our attempts to impose a sense of order
Threaten to corrupt us
To contaminate us
To pleasure us
To reveal us
