Liars


I read the article about feminine desire 
in the New York Times Magazine, and now 
I can't stop thinking about arousal.  At work
I look at women coming in, 
wet and glittering from freak snow showers,
and wonder, What a creature you are, like me.  

I am not, 
they reported. 
I am not. 
I am not. 
I am not.

Yes I am! 
cried their bodies.
Yes I am!
Yes I am!
Yes I am!

See?
