felt toward her “Willies” –
(totally tubular fuzzy bendable contrivances
analogous to an outsize pipe cleaner)
until she became a tweener
my Matty...

In a old old rambling structure
Down on the street called Broadway
Upper floors that had been deserted
For many and many a day

Plastered with holes,
Soft ridged mountains
Plaster of Paris I'd swear
