WillowWren: thanks for the comments. I fixed the spelling on “linen”—good catch.
On the surface level, it’s about nudity, which requires stripping, which often leads to sex, sure. When I say that nudity begins with the end, I mean that when we’re nude, all of us are the same; the end is identical for all of us—buck naked, going at it. But the paths to get to that place can start in a million million different places and take a billion different turns. So the end is the beginning, in that the nudity (the sex, the stripping) is the goal, which is what we’ve set upon in our minds first. How we get there? That’s tricky and special for all of us.
“Stinky” refers to the fourth kiss. The three before it were moving someone (or two…) towards nudity but the fourth was stinky. Not so nice. And so nudity scurried away.
The nonsensical nature of the piece is entirely intentional. If we don’t know when and where the timeline and path to nudity/sex with a partner begins… it can start with anything: bowling, Winnie the Pooh, Tuesday, coffee, etc. So trying to make the connection is… ludicrous. Anything we do might lead to a naked asignation with another. We just don’t know.
But we hope, perhaps. We plan; thus the last three lines.
