Any Boy                                                                          —Kathleen A. Lawrence


Any
               adolescent,     boyish
             brat,    conning
cad,    dastardly
              dick,    egotistical
      egghead    faults
        females,    girth
        growing    hefty,
              handling his    inadequate 
             inchy    jerking 
           jailbait     kitties.
           Keenly     loathing
             lovely     mothers
      manhood     negates
         nuisance     ovaries.
           Ornery     paternalists
          placate     questioning, 
             querulously     reveling,
        reciting     stupid
      scenarios,     tipsy
        tributes     underestimating
              unavailable    velvet
        vaginas.     Worming,
       weighing     explanations,
       exposing     yourself,
your     zipper.
           Zip-it!
