THE BODY OF THE T

Cut/paste mashup poem, sources:  

Brooks, W.R.  β€œThe Condition of Women From a Zoological Point of View.”  The Popular Science Monthly.  June 1879.  
&
A full-page advertisement for the 1954 Chevrolet Bel-Air found in National Geographic Magazine.  February 1954 issue.

The female mind is a storehouse:
smooth, economical, automatic.

Here, a touch of a button adjusts 
her disinterested devotion )however 
a very rare occurrence(

There's much more power. 
Much finer performance.

///

The body of the female:  even 
more of a stand-out )new 
and more colorful(

a brilliant plumage
a Blue-Flame

New beauty is only the beginning.

///

The female is an ordinary 
barnacle )at the tips the origin 
of self-denying(


to use a humble illustration:
the food-yolk is wanting, 
the egg itself is alive,
the egg is small, 
the egg is nothing new

///

This may go on indefinitely.
It is almost hopeless )the 
external wanting, the melting 
of seeds and eggs(

optional at extra cost.


Danielle McMahon pretends an awful lot.
