Temple Encounters

Vestal virgins and lion sea

dressed in white and 

animal print.

 

Lips so pink

nails painted,

same dress untainted

eyerliner crash

into the ear.

 

Short and fat

tall and thin

dressed in white and

animal print,

lips so pink.

 

In antique Rome

all the day in the temple

here in all reality

all the Mondays

in the market square stall

selling clothes in white

and other clothes so bright.

 

I´m not perfect

the vestal virgins 

are not anymore perfect than me

Lion sea now is sole owner

at the market stall more over.

Where are the vestal virgins

I don´t see them anymore

but no more to their temple I go

for their rudness

I forego.
