on filling forms for the doctor's receptionist

If you're going to wear no bra,
and a nontrivial neckline,
you may want to place that neckline carefully.

But then,
perhaps,
you are.

This may be my favorite poem of yours yet.

I've noticed that all my favorite poems of yours are about tits. I don't think this is my fixation - while I do appreciate a good tit or two, my taste in poetry is not, in general, particularly tit-slanted.

I think it's because I like sincerity, and your tit poems are the most sincere. And imagistic. And lively.

I think I love your tit poems because you love tits.

Yeah. After I wrote this, it occurred to me that I only seem capable of true emotive honesty when writing about breasts.

sigh.

Well, I suppose being a one-dimensional poet is better than being a zero-dimensional poet.

I believe you are very definitely a three-dimensional poet, at a minimum.
