Who Enjoys Being Bored?

I half admire the froth that the moralisers
work themselves into as they condemn porn.
But my other half  is always disappointed
when  these moralisers don't condemn
their own ubiquity and overselling
to make themselves more consistent.

The consumption of porn is not,
as many high moralists propose,
always worth condemning in itself.
though the creation of it might be.

Those that view sexual images
are damned by their viewing
of images which do not renew
themselves with repetition,
but make the hope of renewal
a strong  part of their draw.

The surest way to stop viewing porn
is to see the viewing of it as live proof
of high levels of boredom
and damn the lack of engagement with other,
more nuanced and mutual, interests
-sufficient to make their creativity self evident.
