The Gatepost Vol. 4.7: Desire
Description
"DESIRE
In college days, on dateless nights, Pajamaed in all hues but white, The girls sat ’round my room to talk Behind a door, key turned in lock, Of food and clothes and class and then Men and men and men and men. And while exposing rivals’ guile, Eating olives all the while, As we relived last week-end's dance, Adoring everything with pants, I’d wish as only school girls can That I were married to my man.
Those nights have gone, as school nights can;
And now I’m married to my man, And as he dozes on the couch, His face sunk in a general slouch, His suit all baggy at the knee, His feet on my best tapestry, As we pass time within our flat, Keeping still our little brat, I wish till my libido curls That I were back with those old girls.
