The Attentions Of Another Ungodly Venus Poem by Robert Rorabeck

Come in again to my house today:
I welcome you: The walls are semipermiable
Like your skin, or your new
Hair cut:
And this weekend you are going to air shows where
The boys will be twirling their guns:
The pretty girls will be working concessions,
Gossiping of whirligig sororities:
And I will be in my stormy forts again, retreating
Under the clearest swells of water,
Taking pictures with my mind;
And you have a new haircut, and the latest continent
Has floated over next to your thigh to
Be petted and warmed by you.
Maybe like marsupials they will be growing, and your skin
Is jeweled by your eyes:
Your skeleton the nuts and bolts of what you stand for:
There you are out and lonely on the street of your snowy
Promenade;
And I have been thinking of you in sunny South Florida
Trying not to touch myself;
And the sky is filled with welts and scars the airplanes
Navigate through,
And the virgins float washing the feet of Jesus, he himself
Having the hardest time of
Capturing the attentions of another ungodly Venus.
