Goodness, your face is familiar. Tell me, friend, do I know you?
As your heavy breathing warms my neck, I see shades of déjà vu.
And when I inhale (can I do otherwise?) your very familiar scent,
I remember you: you’re a Chippendale – a man of perfect measurements.
Who brought you here? What are you doing waltzing in this ballroom?
Are you someone’s special guest? Did she say she’d take you home?
You’re such a perfect specimen. Should I be flattered you asked me to dance?
Don’t worry, Chippendale, I won’t blow your cover, I’m a woman of common sense.
You’re not much on conversation: this exchange is taking place in my mind
As I’m blushing fuchsia and three shades of red. “No, I’m not ill. I’m fine.”
I just recognize you and don’t really know what to do – no accomplice am I.
Either speak or close your parted lips. Don’t you worry about catching flies?
A chiselled sculpture in my hands, such an angular American face.
Most of the ladies here would elect you to repopulate the human race.
But Chippendale, forgive me as I imagine your fully shaven chest
I must be one of the privileged few to have ever seen you dressed!
And as this Viennese melody closes, my imagination falls apart
You’ve done so many calendars, you must know the months of the year by heart.
Pianissimo, crescendo, decrescendo. The music is coming to a halt.
(I’ve really enjoyed this conversation with myself). “Thank you for the waltz.”

BRAVO!BRAVO!BRAVO!
This poem of yours was a total delight!
I laughed so hard, I'm not sure if I'm all right!
What a marvelous imagination you have
Elena.......and you put it to good use!
The part I like the best was about the "Human Race!" I giggled really hard throughout the whole poem.
What a nice way to start the beginning of my day!
Love
