Come, Let Me Arm You With a Kiss

Come, let me arm you with a kiss
as you step into your business face
tighten the tie that gags your words
to fit the corporate image
adjust your rimless glasses to better see
legal and insurance tangles
tuck in your shirt to deny your gender
it has no place in the office
slip your feet into sensible shoes
the flash of an ankle does not help
pick up your mobile office and
walk through the door but first
come, let me arm you with a kiss.
