I met her one morning at the news-stand
and knew at once that she was meant for me
as yet we're only superficially acquainted
her glossy appearance may be nothing to go by
indeed I'm told she lacks depth
I can't fathom her
that paradoxical seductive frigidness
not ashamed to show pudenda
or share my pillow
but so composed and reticent
unresponsive to caresses
it's as if she's unaware of my existence
I just don't count
it'd be the same for her
if I weren't here at all
there's something missing in our relationship
I'll have to mount her
frame her
hang her on the wall
