Famous Nude by Picasso
Today, I point two firm melons
at you. You latch on, voraciously,
pike-baited.
..............Later, I let you begin,
fine-tuning looking for your
favourite signal coming through.
But then, wanton takes over,
turns us about, directs things awhile -
furious porphry almost wholly
out of grasp.
Then we go home
and have a nice cup of tea.
