Don't Sell Yourself Short, Beautiful

be that as it may,
I have had sex more times
with inanimate objects than people

that could not be
farther from amalgams of organs or,
well, consider this, if you will,

the question, put to a 10 year old.
Draw it.  The drawing would be
more accurate with no knowledge
than what I did 
with my table lamp
at that age,

be that as it may,
I have had sex more times
with inanimate objects

than people, so pardon my lack of understanding
when you tell me you feel ugly.

My standards are not low.
Everything in this world
has the capacity to make me glow.

I can't tell you
about the last time 
a wrench said "I love you"
because you're the only one who has.
