I’ve Always Wondered

why God

created high school dances.

The bombarding rush of dopamine

wishes they could be seduced 

by the same 6 foot tall piece of meat 

for a total of four minutes and 23 seconds.

What honestly made Him think

 two hundred horny teenagers,

outlining a rough draft of an animal planet

episode on ‘Lions Mating 101’

would be a good idea?

Well, if reasoning leads to effect, 

and time leads to aging,

what the heck leads to intelligence?

But why would intelligence play in the first quarter,

if the quarterback obtained over the ‘recommended’ 

number of concussions?

Why did I ask that lonely guy in the corner for a dance

 if he rejects me anyway?

I’ve always wondered if God’s creation of pretty girls

that entrap a line of boys behind them

ever feel afraid.

Does their intelligence lead to confidence,

or does the rush of dopamine lead to rejection?

I’ve always wondered.
