Doctor

Doctor, play husband
Surrogate spouse
Asking but not receiving
Voyeur prototypes
Wanting the view

Slides of houses, windows, mirrors
Inside of stalls, holes, cameras
Stalling for time in hallways
Hunting beautiful sources of excretion
Stalking, hiding, pumping adrenaline

For years
Dreams of secrete places
Plans of cosmic scope
Underworld
Underwear

In fantasy over
Nature's lover
Latrine watcher, waiter
Thru screens and cracks
Annoyed with the crisis of landscaping

Escaping, gaping
In fear of God
Undressing communion recipients
In fear of handcuffs
Eyes both offensive and defensive

Groping in child's games
Break them down
Be the savior
Win unconditional trust
The terrible twos
