Poem Titled Preference - Kind of funny that "Daddy" doesn't like young girls because they allways say "gimmie, and they want so-and-so". Yet his preference for older women is based on the full-fillment of his personal unspoken "gimmie request".

Poem Titled What Is The Shape of Your Body ?

This sounds like someone with a very poor body image, coupled with hurt inflicted by a man. First the writer questions whether or not they are alive. After an affirmative yes, they say " I am stretched out like the arms of a Hindu effigy." Ugh ! An effigy is a crude figure that represents a hated person "Sometimes, I'm scared I won't feel a damn thing". In the poem they've stretched their body out as a net for a man. (For that matter why provide the man your body) But I guess if the man has to be in your life.... let your body be a net and the man will be water as the writer suggest.
