A Love Poem
written by: Thomas Park

“My humps”. My bumps.
The poem, a tease
Erotic words, turns of phrase
Underneath photo
Of young photogene
Post-structure, vague of rhyme
Professor wrinkled nose
At seductive lines
Schoolgirl fantasy
To your credit, Ms. Appleby,
34 26 34 nymph
You are not
Nor have ever been
But 48-year old retail employee
Tired from lengthy shift
Eyes a bit baggy
Lonely as a bird in the desert
Love (or lust) should be your dessert
Never mind the bachelor degree
Tempo, rhythm, analogy
Use the word to find a man
Attract a mate
Ignore the mind
