Poetry Jam: Upon Reading Philosophy Late at Night

This week's Poetry Jam has Jessica cooking up some fascinating prompts. I've chosen the first one because I've been up late at night recently, researching and writing my dissertation. Below is my contribution to this week's jam pot:

Upon Reading Philosophy Late at Night
He stimulates her
with cerebral massage.
Inhaling - exhaling,
his ancient, whispering breath
intellectually touches
gently caresses, stirs.
Opening her mind wide
with vigorous contemplation,
she welcomes his
point of view.
