they don’t need to understand

They’re sexy 
because they’re needy, 
which degrades them. 
 
They’re sexy because 
they don’t need you. 
 
They’re sexy because they pretend 
not to need you, 
 
but they’re lying, 
which degrades them. 
 
They’re beneath you 
and it’s hot. 
 
They’re across the border, 
rhymes with dancer— 
 
they don’t need 
to understand. 
 
They’re content to be 
(not mean), 
 
which degrades them 
and is sweet. 
 
They want to be 
the thing-in-itself 
 
and the thing-for-you— 
 
Miss Thing— 
 
but can’t. 
 
They want to be you, 
but can’t, 
 
which is so hot.
