I met her at the protest march,
Where they were burning bras and such.
We walked, with fists raised, through an arch.
I felt her power with first touch.
Then later, at the local bar,
We talked about the rise and fall,
And of a place both near and far.
I sensed this girl would want it all.
She spoke of Nietzsche’s superman*,
Who had excess, which overflowed.
My race was lost before I ran.
A poker face was all she showed.
Quite Nordic in her ancestry,
Her perfect mind, all-knowing.
She rode me like a Valkyrie,
With golden locks free-flowing.
Her special sign was tattooed low.
So low, I almost broke my back,
While paying homage to that ho,
And falling down inside the crack.
But after crawling that long while,
I then attained a stature tall.
One can run the longest mile,
Once one has learned to crawl.

Mr. E. Bates is a poet who likens the quest for love to a foxhunt,
in which it is the chase and not the kill that appeals.
