DIVER AND OCTOPI
I.B. Rad
Who would have thought
an octopus could perform such feats!
Yet in Hokusai’s 19th century print,
“Diver and Octopi,”
poppa octopus hooks his suckers
over a naked courtesan [the “diver”]
and is attentively tonguing cunnilingus
while his teeny son
- a chip off the old block! -
is nibbling her lips
and fondling a nipple
[the courtesan looks orgastic.]
Nothing particularly abnormal here;
just your typical male fantasy
of some lecherous cephalopods
getting a little pussy.
And who ever said octopi
are cold blooded?!
