From A Man
Who Reads

Reading
any poem
tugs a man
toward life
with a pull
like that soft
and tiny surge
when the bra
is unfastened.

You do the rest.

hi Ed...I was going to try and relate this to a woman reading with something equally clever, but failed.  Many times I read with a similar feeling though.

LOL -- well, you could start by maybe substituting "my" for "the"....?

Happy re-writing!

That, dear shadows, is a fact to which this humble rodent can attest!

It can easily turn this little poem into a script.....
