"Knee Song" by Anne Sexton
Being kissed on the back
of the knee is a moth
at the windowscreen and
yes my darling a dot
on the fathometer is
tinkerbelle with her cough
and twice I will give up my
honor and stars will stick
like tacks in the night
yes oh yes yes yes two
little snails at the back
of the knee building bon-
fires something like eye-
lashes something two zippos
striking yes yes yes small
and me maker.
I'm so fucking turned on by this. Just reading it makes my knees tingle...which makes other things tingle.
Are knees a strange erogenous zone?

I did have a beer the other night, when I got sleepy, so that may account for that. But I slept all day sunday, and there was no booze involved. Weird.
I think I'm just a lazy sod.
