I noticed her
Barely adolescent,
Orange T-shirt
With bright letters
That said "U Wish"
And I thought
How sad that she
Is so young and already
So angry and afraid,
Enough to wear
The sexual battlecry, the paradox
Of look but don't look,
Desire me but you're a
Jerk if you do.

I wish we could
Just allow ourselves
To enjoy each other,
To love openly, fully,
Lustfully, physically, playfully,
Tenderly without fear or shame.
No need for me to
Write this poem,
No longing I am
Unable to tame.
