Genius Annotation

“If I Were Tickled by the Rub of Love” ruminates on the nature of human sexuality and its relation to existence, framed in heavy, penitent Christian imagery. The speaker yearns for the innocence of childhood in the first five stanzas, before abandoning these futile wishes, and dealing with the reality of existence at hand.
