The Model

there are people peering anywhere

being here, just stripped by a man, or men
or a woman, or women, it’s exciting, waiting here bare
both male and female come and look; the young ones like it when
intimacies of front and back are there, some not seen in the air
by people peering anywhere, there and here

I find the audience so amusing, half-brain male, female, too
they’re just the same, in any place, of every race
what is bizarre to you maybe, is I like to do it; it might seem odd to you
I feel, though, it is quite a therapy, for them, in a way, in a place
where there are people peering anywhere, there and here

when stripped to bare essentials, there’s nothing left to do, except
permit the helpless voyeur keep on peeking, asking questions, a bore
the people round the world can’t wait, being thick, inept
they want to open, repeat, undo; who now is rich, who is poor
among the people peering anywhere, there and here

come on, darling, be so bold, go down, go up, go enter
that’s just what you want, to take me, with no respect, to use
make a picture, watch my style, and when you’re ready, centre
there might be those who argue, but no matter, you want to abuse
but there are people peering anywhere, there and here

the human race is pretty useless, slow and dull, the pity imitating
the mindless morons dosed full up on mental amnesia
but waiting here, not fully dressed, to you is titillating
those of us who are on the line wait for meeting anaesthesia
to watch the people peering anywhere, there and here

what can we do, the ones like us, older, wiser than before…
youthful looks, crafted by fashion magazine and film, are just the rage
I don’t care one iota; you go and look; nothing better to do, you bore
take a good look, those of you of any permitted age
you people peering anywhere, there and here

you know that keyboards, screen, CD rom
might need to go onto bench for repair
but no way humans can suspect a computer, too
might have a multi-warm wire love affair
anywhere, there and here

but when we act …
there are no people peering anywhere, there or here
