A body is a body.
She will never know
what it’s like to look,
see bare skin, suffer
a sensation—the urge
men feel to give love
as they interpret. No
time for romance, need
for connection, just action.
A cry is a cry.
He will never notice
her dead blank stare
while pressing his body--
his aching body--
inside her lying passively,
thinking he is sharing
a reward she has earned
just for being beautiful.
