“Let’s Compare Mythologies”

 

He touched

the perfect body of Suzanne

with his mind,

then wrote a poem about it.

 

Or was it a song?

 

I touched more than just one woman,

and in more ways

than just with my mind.

 

With this greater achievement,

my poem

must be far better

than his.

 

Hallelujah.
