Playing With Love

We made love
          in front of the TV...
          Your every cry,
          a goal from me... and the crowd
          maddened applauded...
          We made love,
          in front of a canary...
          Every trill of yours,
          every moan of mine
          hypnotized, and challenged
          further trills of the canary...
          We made love,
          in front of a platoon...
         in our shudder,
         but we tried...
         We're done soon
         not to be
         shot... and look, not even
         we feel guilty...
         We made love,
         in front of a cat...
         every moan of yours,
         my every howl... the cat
         meowed all ruffled...
         We didn't make love
        in front of Gioconda...
        But let's do...
        for her to lose her pose,
        to cut her "wave"
        passivity not jocund !!
