I think the weird is good!Aside from the suggestions i made, i was pleasantly surprised by this poem,as the title prepared me for something totally different. Some of the line breaks near the begginning seem odd, or like you sort of arbitrarily broke them off for no reason. And a few of the words seem uneccessary, just some extra weight you can cut. Other than that, great poem!
There's this girl, I'd like to write about
her bosom, for a few moments,
because I can't stop thinking about
how many hooks she fiddles with<<the hooks she fiddles with
in the morning. How her cups
of coffee touch her lips,
or does she drink tea?
How many bobby pins does it take
to hold her hair, and does she
hold them in her mouth while she
wraps it into a bun?<<wording seems a little funny
She defies gravity with pink and white stripes,.
and I try not to look when she bends down
in front of me, but how can I not
think about fiddling with the hooks
on that pink and white bra, and
how can I not think about fixing her coffee, and
how can I not think about helping her
with those tangled brunette locks, or
at least hold the bobby pins, or
at least leave the sugar out, or
at least sneak a peek at her chest?
And dont worry about being politically correct or coming across chauvinistic. If its how you wanted to write it then its fine.
