Why Won’t You?

By Chocolate Waters

Published May 1st, 1999

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.
