Pallid you may be; Athena, Pallas, <br />Was wise too, pale because she knew too much <br />About her lover's quite elusive phallus <br />Whenever she came near and wished to touch. <br />She put him in a slaveship to the East <br />To bring her spices, fragrancies and tales <br />And feed her hungry spirit needing yeast <br />To swell and gleam like surface rising whales <br />Humping their backs and blowing spermy spouts. <br />She waits for her distant lover to return <br />And when he comes, she to the ocean shouts: <br />Welcome my darling, nothing more to learn!<br /><br />Linda Hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/athena/
