Your Body Is A Trick
from Naked Poetry Hosted by Adele Elysée
Your body is a trick. …you are not delicate. In my fiction you Steal my fingerprints And wrap them around Your wrists You say, “I’m keeping these for later.” Your body is a trick. …you are not delicate. Your eyelashes sting Deep when they whip me From across the table I just tell myself to count to three. Good thing blood is thick. Good thing Love Lasts. ‘Cause we’re going to be here a while And yes That’s a threat.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)
LibriVox
LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
