THE MODELS

She be the secretary, he be the boss.
She be the blonde, he be the man.

She be the skirt, he be the pants.
She wear the panties, he smoke the blunt.

She wear the makeup, he wear her scent.
She wear the man, he cover the lover.

He be business, she be nervous.
He take her to kiki, she write kiki.

She write kiki and phone number.
He bow to her as she leave the bus.

She be the hunter, he be the prey.
He be the car, she be the highway.

She be the site of his construction.
He be the height of her insurrection.
