POEM: Thinking about what is unsaid, notes to self on Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet": where is "On Sex"?

One of those days when I just want to write something which means
nothing. I was having a bad day yesterday, Feb. 2.

Thinking about what is unsaid, notes to self on Khalil Gibran's "The
Prophet": where is "On Sex"?
Andoy Castellano, 2 February 2006

Reading and not reading
for twenty-five years
and now I wonder what did Khalil Gibran write about sex?

Not reading and scanning
it was all there:
Friendship, Love, Marriage, Children,
Giving, Clothes, Joy and Sorrow,
Freedom, Reason and Passion,
Talking, Time, Pleasure, Beauty,
Prayer, Religion, Death
The Farewell

Reading but not learning
I gasp and sigh.
