Blessed Titillation

Freud talks about libido cathexis
in his theory of the drives—
investment of love into objects.
Sure, I want a Lexus,
but I lack the gravy
 to
 gratify that wish—where anticathexis
comes in (to completely perplex us).
But I'm done working nine-to-five,
because I've achieved the object
of my dreams—an autoconnexus,
making me feel so glad to be alive
that I achieve cathexis
by virtually switching sexes
what I'm in love with is my own hide—
I'm the object
of my own sincere regard
and affection. And who’d deprive
me of this sweet wellness—
myself my own love object?
