Pretty pink pussy.
That’s what he sees; that’s what he wants.
His eyes glaze over the body, but his
focus is only on the dip between
her thighs. He sees
something that he wants — something
that he will get. Man
who breathes as if he is in a constant
state of pleasure.
Pretty pink pussy. Mmm.
Perhaps he is, in fact, endlessly
experiencing gratification; he is allowed
to take up space and to think
all day
of how much he wants that
pretty pink pussy.
He is allowed to imagine its smell,
its unique texture, its shape,
and he is allowed to watch
his crotch grow and proudly
boast his bulge for all to see.
But her? No; she is not allowed pleasure.
She is expected to consider
her preferred ownership. Will she
work from home, and wait for him to
come at the end
of the working hours to
a sopping, wet, hungry,
pretty pink pussy.
Will she discuss the exchange rate
of household chores for sex
and blowjobs
or will she let those problems
arise as they occur — threatening
all the while —
to withhold from him,
pretty pink pussy.
