sexy is a popular word
throughout the world
even in Pohnpei
women and girls want to be sexy
to be desired

Nahnep was sexy
extremely
even the words that came out of her mouth
were almost all sexy
she had many lovers
very sex-y
her personality was sexy
her laugh, mannerisms
super sexy sexual
I never saw her wear skinny jeans
but apparently
skinny jeans are what’s sexy
wearing clothes that show the shape
of your thighs and ass
and if you are a grown woman
with a child or five
a muffin top that may hang over your jeans
sexy?
but urohs?
that’s what our mothers,
grandmothers wear
long and loose
uber colorful, neon cultural
respectful and nonsexual
but highly sensual…
sensual?
Yes.
that’s hard to find
in skinny jeans and music videos
