Curtain Cat-Calls
Play players play
Romance me with a chest lead
Left stage in a heart-beat
I can see the zipper—from here.
Evoke a trope so troublesome
I’ll shrug at strangers and laugh—wildly.
Come! Defile me with your imitation
Is that how I sound when I ruse?
Collapse your curtain like a floor bound robe
Let’s be naked together, stage
Play dirty thespian tricks while I’m not watching
And laugh wildly—laugh wildly at me.
