Just Say Yes

Wind, wind the window blind
so the night can't peek in.
Rest upon my canvas
like you rest upon my mattress.

Then in a dim, August dawn
I lay hunched up against a stranger pillow
and woke to smear over every crevice,
every pore,
the woman's way to war.
Have it lie upon my skin
so my true
(unadmired) smile
can't be seen within.

Work a counter,
technical dictionary definition
of prostitution.
Is an attitude, or a lip curvature
considered sexual gratification
if we remain dressed?
But w****s don't wear their names
pinned against their breast.
