Who Wants the Love
of a Metallic Man?
…….
Who wants the love of a metallic man?
We all do. We desire a lover who
Will offer us affection like the span
Created by suspension bridges—true
Devotion made of stainless steel and bolts—
And anger soft as mercury. His eyes
Should be a cobalt blue with brighter jolts
Of platinum to lighten and surprise
Our souls with sweeter tints and flecks of sky.
His arms and shoulders should be made of bronze.
The shape and shove of manly hip and thigh
…....
Should give a bliss as from a sacred bonze.
..His central organ should be soft and bold
…..
….And malleable to give us molten gold.
