Keep Abreast

so bashful, the breast
as it sags silently in rest
as it sways
-	a motion that preys
on the mind of man

so bold, the breast
with a single hut
across a deep valley cut
to another
-	a hat on a beach
of softest sand
-	a silky land
creamy smooth
and quite aloof
holding its head up high
as wanton fingers reach to pry

so silly, the breast
a mere structure
-	a perfect appendage
-	a factory, a tool
that shaped nations, history, fate
with man but the fool
