I will push this poem towards the hips
and the hips will be delighted to sway.
I will smooth this poem flat in between
two strong olive thighs, like trunks,
making songs sing in between down there.
I will make this poem curve around breasts --
paper cones covering downward slopes.
I will take this poem's small, small ear,
bend it to my lips and say "you are so, so sexy."
