She's the victimizer to his victim,
his Amazon, his G.I. Jane. He swoons.
"Less is more - and less, dear" is his dictum.

and cannot seem to hide the fact with grace.

when Clark Kent takes the lead in an embrace).
They're clipped, those wings wherein she keeps him waiting -
but then, her clock is winding down in pace.
He fixes the alarm each night, debating
where best to set his watch and second face.
