Must Be Underexcited

I’m less excited than so many.
Is this crime?
I’m excited by stuff, sure.
Embodied nakedness does excite me for a spell
But this excitement – gone when
Poetry is on the loom
And there is not much substitute.

Nakedness, when embodying in a poem
Slowly stripping off, getting poem
Getting nuder than simply nude
Getting body on my loom
Strips excitement apart.
Skeleton, framework.
I’m so sorry for all this coagulation.
I am weaving a towel with a pin-up on it
And it’s not so exciting. A towel.
Who’d be excited by a sexy bath towel
That dries on a heated rack? They
Must be maniacs, I don’ know.
