Those Eyes Of That Woman In That Drawing by Blueblood
The street hung dejected with rows of withered trees
and jarringly on display at a forlorn sidewalk,
was this black and white drawing, twenty by twelve
Eye-catching as it was of a woman in baby's suit
On contrary to what most obsessed men might expect
It bore an older insignia, probably in her late sixties
At least the contours around her flaccid cheeks
coupled with her saggy epithelia told the tale.
The way she stood gave an impression that
her soaring chassis could barely hold her weight
Her lips unpursed as if she was cursing me in undertone
Her breasts were like stones in a pair of shocks
Her tummy was an uneven surface of an age-old mirror
Her eyes, oh, those dark ogles beneath those cavernous,
sinister sockets of hers just haunted me to death
To shun them, I stepped to the right as if to change
my point of view, squinting her from the corner of my eyes
Yet, I found them staring right at me, piercing my eyes
Unable to erase the look of panic that spread across my face
I took to my heels, guilty, never daring to look back.
