‘The Future Of Sex: A Garden Of Unearthly Delights’ by Joe Haldeman

But ah! there may be brave new worlds
awaiting lusty boys and girls:

and it is to these futures grand
that I will lead you, by the hand.

Yes, it is poetry and no, it isn’t very good. Haldeman opens the anthology with what I believe we are meant to call “light comic verse” but you might equally call doggerel. It sort of scans and it does at least have a structure as it takes us through the increasing cybernation of sex but really there was no need.
