misperception
I am stupidly contented.
Safe in my cloud of fragrance,
Sweet and honeyed as a newborn.
Breasts milk heavy, I ripen
To your touch. My cheeks
Autumn apples, tight flush
Rush with our passion.
I collect admiring glances.
See! How I play to the crowd
Your star, so stupid and bovine
So easily placated, your pale
And vacant wife. The soul's
Under-pinnings, the thin strings
Silver-pinned, sky-eyed am i.
Yet like a cat, I would eat
My young to feed the few.
Always I am pragmatic.
Life is but arithmetic and choice.
