SUCKING COCK

is an art.
Don't let
anyone
tell ya different.
So's making love,
laying brick
or cable;
sweeping
streets
or just plain
sweeping;
making beds
or making-up
after wishing
the other person
dead;
cutting tulips
or slitting throats.
It's the grace
of the thing
within the thing
that brings the divine
to the mundane.

Train your inner eye
on yourself.
Teach it
to notice.
Do it
the next time
you step
from the shower.

See,
see
what
I
mean?
