Heyyy, I'm back! What do you think of this lovely poem by Sharon Olds?

Topography

After we flew across the country we

got into bed, laid our bodies

delicately together, like maps laid

face to face, East to West, my

San Francisco against your New York, your

Fire Island against my Sonoma, my

New Orleans deep in your Texas, your Idaho

bright on my Great Lakes, my Kansas

burning against your Kansas your Kansas

burning against my Kansas, your Eastern

Standard Time pressing into my

Pacific Time, my Mountain Time

beating against your Central Time, your

sun rising swiftly from the right my

sun rising swiftly from the left your

moon rising slowly from the left my

moon rising slowly from the right until

all four bodies of the sky

burn above us, sealing us together,

all our cities twin cities,

all our states united, one

nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Heyyy, I'm back! What do you think of this lovely poem by Sharon Olds?
As a lover of poetry and the written word i must say...

Hey, I'm from Kansas! Ya, Kansas!Heyyy, I'm back! What do you think of this lovely poem by Sharon Olds?
I knew a girl once who had been very fat in her early teen years, but then she lost all her surplus weight.

Her skin had stretched, so that when you took her clothes off there were pale white lines all over her body. Her breasts in particular looked like sheets of cartridge paper which had been scrunched up and then flattened out again.

Whenever we went to bed together she always reminded me of a roadmap.

I guess that is what Sharon Olds poem is about. I guess she must have been very fat too.

If she'd left out the names of the cities, states, and time zones, it would have been great. But this was overkill.
