Early Polling of Intentions

          Early Polling of Intentions

Who wouldn’t want it if a giant snake

Proposed deep mouthfuls that you thought were out

Of reach?  The woman’s throat began to shake.

The woman’s heart fled fast from fussy doubt.

She knew she wanted all he offered up.

He stretched.  The space between him and her lips

Decreased.  He stretched again.  She reached to cup

Fulfillment, feeling neediness in hips

And nearby holes that she had not considered

When she had lusted after all those fruits

The long one offered.  Each slot considered,

She knew she needed length inside her chutes.

  The woman reached her fingers up to hold

    The offerings.  She needed to be polled.
