So I've never really been into poetry especially not really weird English or America or where ever he's from poets, but I'm taking this class in English Lit. (I'm in way over my head, I'm practically married my electronic dictionary) and part of it is poems, so I have to read a bunch and I found this one....

Kite, I know things have been kind of weird lately your really busy and...things have been...I've been...weird, but I was reading this (and once I understood it) it made me think of you, and I guess I wanted to share it...



i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh. . . . And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new
