Sonnet for Suzie

I never listen to audio guides at exhibitions 
Come here darling lemme lick your armpits
I’ll rejoice in the Venus tummy 
in peak vampirism     
in staying golden 
Didn’t you say your parents met at Skowhegan? 
Glitter, cat toys, spare umbrella 
parts, the war is never over
and your vertical hair 
has me thinking of Hong Kong Garden
and Margaret Thatcher 
and the time I took a piss in a Grecian urn 
because it’s all just a complex exploration 
Of Beauty.
