beauty is in the eye of the beheld
Sometimes I want to touch you and be touched in
return. But you think I'm grabbing and I think you're
shirking and Mama always said to look out for men like
you
So I go to the streets with my lips painted red and my
eyes carefully shielded to seduce the world my reluctant
lover
And you go to your men slapping fives feeling good
posing as a man because you know as long as you sit
very very still the laws of motion will be in effect

I wasn’t expecting the milk just then, it streamed
right over the baby’s head, across my lap
and started a whole new constellation just
before the baby massage class began.
I did my best to be discreet and catch it
in a muslin so that no one noticed
but it wasn’t easy once the stars had
started pinging round the room, hitting
walls and fittings, making such a racket
that every single baby stopped its murmur
to look at all this stuff – and just for that
one instant there wasn’t any sound as all
the babies turned their faces up to stars
and then the crying for the milk began.
