Hair, there


Now noon,
A weary worker
At a construction site
Retires his tools for a bite

Opens a dabba
Packed by his wife
And finds to his delight

The sign
Of a tiny,
Most miniscule strand
Of pubic hair

A line
Lain down
In an elliptical
Accident
Over a roti
She has prepared

The worker is wise
To show no surprise
Or despair

Women
With needs
No doubt can seek
Many an illicit way

To slake
And satisfy
Their lust
By light of day

Why would she slave
Over a stove
And make rotis
Instead of love

Unless
It is his
Memory
That makes her
Quiver
And sweat
As if in fever

When between
One roti and another
She squeezes the belan
With vigour

Into her underwear

When I am driving the schoolbus,
I am so happy, it hurts.
I grin like a lusty old fool does.
I sneak a peek under the skirts.

I am so happy, it hurts
When, in my mind, I strip them bare.
I sneak a peek under the skirts,
I wonder if they're growing hair.

When, in my mind, I strip them bare,
I know that their mothers are blessed - 
I wonder if they're growing hair
And mothers can see them undressed.

I know that their mothers are blessed -
I grin like a lusty old fool does.
And mothers can see them undressed
When I am driving the schoolbus.

Cinquain

Penis
Male organ
Used for pleasure
Diminished upon recall of
Itself

Rain is an excuse
Like summer, spring and winter
To be inside you
