Just As Beautiful As You Poem by Robert Rorabeck

Someone told me today that she was already mine,
As the waves bit the comb, and their sea did shine;
And yesterday there was Alma,
In my house and in my shirt, while the animals made love
In the zoo,
And flirts did flirt: it all felt alright for the first time
In a long while,
As the airplanes carried around their sweetly legged cargo:
They went this way, and they went that:
The clouds were their love bed, their bellies fat:
And yesterday I crawled on my knees and kissed the virginsita
Before your eyes:
Kissed her and only asked all that was good for you,
While this evening I am all alone, but the sea is still just as
Beautiful as you:
She will always be just as beautiful as you, Alma.
