some guys a
lady should not lay
awake
or pine or sigh
for; some spots a woman
should not go, where there
is
sand and, lonely, water
slick - don't stop - there are
some men a lady
might
extend an arm or leg quite
safe about and beg
or buy, and then
there are
the other kind; they say lie
flat and flail, first fling
back
anything to land, to
flag your whereabouts, a
shout or shim, chemise or
bag;
lips stick and sink, suck
mud till you're quite
brainless, the
end most
unrequited's neither
quick nor painless Contact
