NthGen: Ravishingly [revised version]
"Ravishingly'
redefines androgony:
"more beautiful than a woman can
"be, more handsome than a man,"
he is quite the anomaly.
Haters still manage to keep pace---
the mayhem that they stir up mocks
the very concept of courtesy.
The efforts that they raise and put
forth is more than a social slight:
too many, far too many, attacks.
Ba Ba Ba sings all over known space:
his records are broadcast every place.
He wears a shimmering tunic and silver slacks,
singing (hold steady young hearts!) barefoot,
or sometimes with his signature blue socks,
(with reflective, small spangles like stars at night)
on. For comfort and, perhaps, agility
(and not just seeking publicity),
Ba Ba Ba, still adolescent, eschews
the very concept and collection of shoes.
Delicacy has put its gentle trace---
just look at that face;
those eyes, those lips, all framed by long hair,
no wonder his listeners stare and stare.
