Domina

They taught us to wait at the red light,
hungry thoughts alienate us,
alienated thoughts make me hungry,
thoughts of those at my right for the woman in red,
thoughts of those at my left for the red in the woman,
thoughts of those at my back for no woman at all.
I see the red joining between the thighs,
waving interdiction above the knees.
