Free range
Twins, remember when I prayed for you,
supported you with push-ups, underwire,
demi bras, quarter cups, racerbacks, bustiers,
bandeaus, and eyelash lace; it’s true I’ve seen
Victoria’s secrets and heard the shade:
jugger luggers, chest chokers, booby traps,
over-the-shoulder bolder holders the rest are unmentionables –
what I’m trying to say is I’m tired
of restrictions and want to set you free boobing,
tit-loose & fancy free, it’s girls night out,
cage free & organic, like Rihanna, titties al fresco.
