The static <br />off of her <br /> <br />mohair jacket <br />is shocking <br /> <br />& now <br />that this has been <br /> <br />whipped off & tossed aside <br /> <br />revealing her <br />in her barest <br /> <br />...even more shocking <br />still! <br /> <br />She looks like <br />the Venus de Milo <br />...with arms. <br /> <br />I almost can’t bear it <br />& can only grin <br /> <br />as her mini <br />hits the floor <br /> <br />with a klunk <br />from the heavy big belt buckle. <br /> <br />She is now <br />the full Monty <br />...an Aphrodite! <br /> <br />But then she announces <br />like a stage magician <br /> <br />her next <br />trick <br /> <br />“I think I’ll go...& slip <br />into something a little more comfortable! ” <br /> <br />I am more than comfortable <br />with the nothing <br /> <br />she has on. <br /> <br />She re-enters the scene <br />dressed in only a baby doll <br />(circa 1970) <br />sheer nylon nightie. <br /> <br /> <br />I reach out <br />in disbelief <br /> <br />as sparks fly <br />yet again. <br /> <br />She now more <br />electric than <br />ever! <br /> <br />Finally she dispenses <br />(“I seen one in a 1970’d Porno movie <br />& just had to have one! ”) <br />with the dreaded thing <br /> <br />until at long last <br />we are skin to skin <br />(sin to sin) <br /> <br />either only <br />electric <br /> <br />to <br />one another.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bright-sparks/
