breeze doesn't pass through clogged pores
egrets are returning
although i feel this burning
they stand tall and cool on Han River shores
as i consider doing a strip tease
for the fortunate couple with their bikes
long-sleeved and pants
to keep their yellow bodies white
dangling legs over ledge of Han River dykes
as egrets eight stand and wait
alas, a cloud has come to offer shade
what for do i hesitate
when i can excrecate from
exaggerated heat my t-shirt has made
makes her hot, wants a drink
they get up to dress heads, hands, and necks
sees my torso, what does she think
her companion rides off and leaves her
what the heck!
i'm
too sexy for my shirt
too sexy for my bike
va-va-va voom
