Beautiful Androgyne

You,
Beautiful androgyne!
You are so full of America:
checkered shirt-tail, sun-grayed fencepost,
still afternoon; 
dust.

Your
tattoos are comprehensive; Da Vinci-like;
over-committed; male-like.
But you are like a woman being a man, feminine and not 
maleness in a woman's body.

My neighbor brings you in to see my art, and your voluptuous curiosity fills the space.
While you leave,
I catch your eyes, and you and I are sat on the same knife-edge for a long instant.

" Hi neighbor, can you tell your friend I want to see her again?"
