On cold days it's easy
To buttom the mouth against kisses
To dust the breasts with talc*m
Forget the red of the heart
Becoming a nun
One those days the heart beats
Beats like a digital clock-
Chilly as green neon
Luminous in the dark
I think I can live without it----
Lovewith its pumping blood
Sex with its messy hungers
Men with tjeir peac*ck strut
Becoming a nun
I'm zipped into my body suit
I'm wearing seven league suede boots
I'm marching over cobblestones
Like heads of men I have known
