how to sculpt a woman

Scott Whitby, 2023

you have to know how tall she is

and where are all the curves

then take a ball of clay and smooth it

it's not something that you learn

you make a pretty face

and carve her a pretty skirt

long neck and arms and legs

then wait for her to flirt

but remember when you've done all that

she's more than what you made

she's smarter than you, you see

smarter and never afraid

you think you made a woman

you sculpted her of clay

but what you fail to see

she waited for this day

she planned for you to sculpt her

she wasn't sure you really could

but now you finally did

and now you are hers for good
