UPS AND DOWNS

Paul Weinman


Why is it that her finger's touch
effects me so ... I don't know.
Just that slow reach, press
of forefinger moving easily
over my eyebrow up to the edge
of forehead ... where hair starts -
All thoughts of housing disparities
comparisons in pay between blacks
and whites ... women ... all
disappear, fade in almost equal
proportion to my pant's swelling.
