On Public Displays of Admiration
Emily Reeve
If I were to rave
about your art,
or your writing,
or your skill
with a saw and
we were in a public place,
would you blush?
If I told you that you
were a fantastic lover,
or complimented your
ability to cook,
would you show a
hint of modesty?
If I were to
take out an ad
in the local
paper with
your picture
and a declaration
of my admiration
and undying devotion
to your mind,
your soul, and
your bangin' bod
would you be flattered?
Or would you just worry
that all of
the homosexuals
who saw it
would want your dick?
