Gold lame, Black boots thigh-high Ears dripping diamonds -
Why won’t you ‘?&!’!!#’ me?
Elizabeth Arden blue, 4-inch white spikes – tied at the ankles,
Floor-length Tibetan lamb -
Why won’t you ‘?&!’!!#’ me??
Fuchsia, so tight at the waist I coud die, Fishnet stockings,
Jeweled heart at the back of the leg -
Why won’t you ‘?&!’!!#’ me???
Red Halston couture, Slit to the navel, Hair up with a comb,
Earrings like pistils -
Why won’t you ‘?&!’!!#’ me????
I don’t know.
Maybe I’m not
dressed right.
