Should I shut my eyes,<br>
to all these light in space<br>
and retreat to your restrain?<br>
Save my roving eyes go astray<br>
upon earths art, offered partly<br>
on innocent streets lit with skin<br>
and hues of spandex samplings,<br>
in mindful display of itinerant art<br>
illuminating cores in body wraps.
<p>I ask again<br>
Should I shut my eyes?<br>
To this new entreating art<br>
modelled for trespass stare;<br>
when I put no knife to cotton,<br>
when I murdered not infamy!<br>
Cosmos will yet cast its light low;<br>
cotton will yet lack from clothing’s,<br>
like shades of spandex transform still,<br>
even if I shut my eyes for your see, alone!</p>
