Selfish Jeans
We all seek to be loved
For the best motives
But equally seek
To be desired for the most selfish
We wish our lover
To respect our subjectivity
But also to be
That Obscure Object of Desire
Not a sister or a brother
We wish to measure up
And slim down
To be the brightest
Biggest Peacock
To have the brightest frock
We all seek attention
When our Privates are On Parade
Speaking as
A Secret Drinker of Lemonade
Let me confess that I fantasise
About being paid
But that the objectification involved
Makes me quite afraid
Modern types encourage 'exploration'
Of such themes
But freedom is not what it seems
Ones desires can lead one to exploitation
Reality often doesnt live up
To expectation
