Big Panties

big panties are the last luxury
cloud soft and white
why suffer anything
riding up your butt?

ditch the string things
a woman ain't a suspension bridge
something to cross
or go over or under

reclaim your artless waist
your honest silhouette
the exuberance of cartwheels
swing them unbound hips, gal

let your lollipops show.
