Getting the Picture
The writer apologizes to the women.
He thinks we don't get the picture.
We sit next to you in class, discussing linguistic properties
without seeing this curve of muscle or that cheekbone;
without imagining your long thigh, hard and haired over;
without watching your penis uncurl
and plump in our palms like warm dough,
your eyes defocusing with pleasure;
without feeling your fingers slide
into the sides of our mouths;
without tensing our tongues
as if licking the last salty drops of you.
Well we do.
We just don't know how to talk about it.
