High Waisted Denim Jeans

by Jared Orlando

I can’t stop thinking of your
High waisted denim jeans
and the time it must take
For them to suck you in
One leg at a time
Do you squirm upon the bed
Fighting with the zipper
Even when we make love
I can see them crumbled in
The corner of the room
and I get to thinking
The quality time you two
Must spend together
They see you right before
You put on your face
How nice it must be
To be high waisted denim jeans
Not expecting anything
Just hanging on

Like the idea of this. The lines "the time it must take/For them to suck you in/One leg at a time/Do you squirm upon the bed/Fighting with the zipper" are poignant and grab the reader in a great way. Think that it might be more powerful if the lines "Holding together/The loveliest women of the world" were taken out, because that sentiment is so implied throughout the piece that it kind of makes it sound a little Hallmark-ish, which is fine if that's what you're going for, but if so I think it'd work better if it were more exaggerated in that direction throughout.
