Eye Candy

sybarite

you're so nonchalant	1
it's almost,	2
almost but not quite	3
calculated	4
so self-assured	5
it approaches arrogance	6
stops just short of asshole	7

you're so fucking hot	8
you don't sit	9
you drape	10
you don't stand	11
you present	12
you don't walk	13
you stroll	14
i can't stop looking at you	15
i can't help thinking of words like	16
languid	17
sybaritic	18
lustful	19
fetish	20
i keep in my pocket	21
tattered and fingerprinted	22
from constant handling	23
because i touch you	24
with my imagination	25
all the time	26

i don't want to meet you	27
i don't want to talk to you	28
because a thousand words (or one)	29
have brought ruin to perfect pictures	30
and felled ivory towers	31
i'm not willing	32
to let even one	33
unfortunate word fall from your lips	34
and ruin my reason	35
to come to work everyday	36
