Bears on Pedestals
I watch you with desire
From across the bar
The two of you
Decked out in your gear
Boots - Jeans - Open Flannel
shirts
Big and beefy with beards
Seated on your stools
The center of attention
Object of all the stares
I watch the men
Approach you
Stroke you
They perform for your notice
You smile as if unaware
Coldly giving no attention
You have each other
There is no one else
That can compare
