Beauty Contest
Adam’s suit’s beautiful and luring
Eyes know it, try to eat everything
eyes asking for more even that hidden
contesters leave them watering
Lips dry of saliva, remote with hope
but tears- rich squat with envious stare
flying appetite betrays insecure heart
knocking against walls of eager looks
Free and innocent beauties lie untapped
hillside occupants are deadly pretty
trees, creepers, insects, terraces, waterfalls
wear no clothes but have unrivaled beauty
Yet humans parade nude human seeds
that eyes may selfishly eat their fill
