Three Poems

Cat Torso

Cat torso, jeweled tail. No longer fashionable to show significant portion of high thong under low jeans while sitting on bar stool, leaning on elbows and arching back to show more. Curve of ear accentuated by wave of hair, accentuating hang of boob contrasting with flatness of midriff. The Eye of the Poem One last peek at the bold nipple breaking through fabric, societal constraints, standard sizes, flower-shaped cover-ups. The most successful focal point of all. The eye of the poem. Webcam Old picture. Colors off. Cross-eyed nipples and tits. Usually the owner becomes extremely offended upon being asked the question, “Are/Is...cross-eyed?” Angle with water pitcher pouring century-old water on head of modern nymph, hair air-drying in front of webcam.
