ART WITH HEART

A MAN AND HIS WORK COLLEAGUE AND LOVER IN AN ART SHOP IN 1972

We sell art
in the shop
Abela

has the knack
and beauty
to sell art

to any
philistine
who comes in

or's dragged in
by his wife
or girlfriend

I watch her
as she sells
some art piece

to some guy
middle-aged
greying hair

who's taken
by her talk
and that smile

and those eyes
and I know
she could sell

ice cubes to
Eskimos
I study

her figure
how she stands
the gesture

of her hands
her cute butt
her fine hair

and I wish
it was now
our bedtime

so that we
can create
a different

kind of art
a mixture
of hot sex

but with heart.
