WHAT IF, LIKE A WOMAN, I PLEASE MYSELF

$

What if, like a woman, I please myself,

gone very much from the traffic of the world,

a woman content to please herself alone,

not hidden in the back of a car, or invisible,

as love might imagine itself inside a telephone,

but more invisible, a woman happy and alone,

in a nest of quiet pleasing, far from disappointment,

the work of the world, boredom, and boredom blaring in a poem its moan.

Is it possible for a man to please himself like a woman?

This were infinitely true from the first day.

I took some time to ask the world, excited, as always, by the sun,

but it wasn’t picturesque; look, it’s disappointing and gray—

like a woman I pleased myself; my readers I teased

with strange rhetoric, defying Aristotle, AI;

it made sense to me. But the world wasn’t pleased.
