Tease

Don’t knock…I won’t let you in
Don’t you see how late it is?
Don’t look into my window pane
I don’t want to see you now…just go away!
I am busy with my newfound project
I’m really psyched about it…in an odd way

I am swimming atop this plush Korean blanket
It feels so sensuous. My bare legs slide as if I were
Pedaling on a bike, while the sun and wind urge me on
Or as if feathers caressed my limbs and thighs.
I lay my cheek against it; It is thick like grass
And as comforting and warm as a man’s landscape

I can’t recall if it was Valentino or YSL
Who said something to the like that he was retiring
due to the mediocrity in fashion
He would have needed to have visited Los Angeles
Where multitudes cheer with blazing passion
A basketball game, with the same uncontained euphoria..

Of a nation liberated from invading forces
Yet I do understand his view, as the voracious
Appetite of Wal-Mart promotes sweat shop labor
Don’t attempt to tease me; I’ve looked for you for so long
Yet, I do love this plush Korean blanket; I don’t want to leave it
I think that…I will want it to line my coffin
