GIRLS, by                    
First Line: Girls are so massive and complete
Last Line: The fact that girls are made to kiss.
Subject(s): Girls


Girls are so massive and complete,
The ponderous important feet,
The mighty legs, the marble face,
The hair in its huge towered place,
The clothes designed like brick or steel
For architectural appeal
Of pillar, arch, and counterthrust
Of bastions at hip or bust --
These awe me so I half-way miss
The fact that girls are made to kiss.
