Worship the Big Dizzy Woman

The words on the wall read,
"Worship The Big Dizzy Woman,"
and I have to think it would be
really cool to be a big
dizzy woman getting worshiped.
Being worshiped in itself
would be grand-but to be
a big dizzy woman would
make it even better.

I already see myself Big sometimes
when I look at my curves and folds
in mirrors around the house,
but I'm forever thinking Titian
instead of Cosmo to keep a grip
on my sanity. And Dizzy arrives intermittently
around the time my stomach empties
or my lover steals sweet kisses.
Woman is inherent, with the price
tag shouting millions.

So worship me if you will,
give me wine and tickle my toes with feathers
for managing the cost of teachings
and persuasions since I was old enough
to flip through a woman's magazine
or watch my sisters as well as men
look me up and down
and learn of my shortcomings-
Forever Infinite.

Worship me as a deity-paradoxical
forced to find heaven's peace and rest
content at best
in this hell on earth.
Worship the beauty and giving
dizzy in between the
pressures and takings
Of Woman.
