1
our idea
of beauty
in man, woman
is after we ignore
hair in the wrong places
2
women ply it
for gaining security;
and men acknowledge it
for penetration
3
our ideal of beauty
shifts and changes with time
and goes from nudity
to complete concealment
4
our terms of beauty
ignore change
(and the dentures)
and we say:
"She must have been so beautiful
when she was young"
5
when one has nothing
by way of aesthetics
we appeal to morals and the lofty
and this is the time
we speak of inner beauty
