Women From The Ancient Cities

Almost more than anything I enjoy
looking at a woman but most of all
I enjoy looking at a woman while
I’m drawing her. But many women now
or maybe it’s been this way for decades
but somehow I’ve just never noticed it
pose for drawing as if a camera
is involved somewhere in the equation.
They smile. Or they make a cute face. Emote.

As if the world is divided between
what Taylor calls Disney bubblegum shit
and the sexting stuff Miley does for fun.

You can have a metaphor only if
something stands in the place of something else.

Everything else has been taken away.

It’s a rough time to be a woman but
it’s worse if you’re a guy who likes to draw.
