Intimacy to a Beautiful Level

Dick Davis in "A Monorhyme For The Shower," takes a whole new level on a women in the shower. It is clear that this women is someone he has been with for some twenty odd years. He states in the poem that the twenty years have gone by so fast. This women he describes is someone he is very much attracted to and very much in love with. From the very beginning when he describes that the women was someone he would not ever approach to a women he has children with to the this day. The only reason I can come to conclusion about that is because him saying "Childbearing, rows, domestic care--"(Davis9). She is someone with childbearing hips and domestic care, meaning she knows how to care for life. He goes so in dept about detail with this women. Puts sexual thoughts to mind, and very sensual thoughts as well. It is very tasteful, yet very mysterious at the same time.
Edward Nobles in "Popular Mechanics," takes a very sexual moment and compares every mechanic detail in site. Its a beautiful piece of work that makes such a passionate moment and shows the meaning of it. It is very clear what is happening, a man is between a women's legs, yes we see that. But my question is why is he using his surroundings to talk about? To me I have come to the conclusion that when your in such a passionate moment everything seems to slow down, every little thing stands out. The dust, the chair legs, marbles, even a penny rolling across the floor is so obvious in the sexual moment. It is a moment that he is sharing with this women. Some may wonder how you can see everything else while sharing this sexual experience with someone, but if ever in the situation, there is meaning behind it. Not everyone in intimacy shares such a passionate or more vulnerable moment with that other person. It is something special at happens with one or many, whatever you must choose.
Together these two poems share a great deal of intimacy. In a different way, but so alike at the same time. With the two going in to so much detail with each shows similarity. Davis is taking every detail of his loved ones body and making it tasteful when Nobles is taking every detail of his surroundings while sharing such an intimate moment with his loved one. The both take sexual moments to a whole new level, and make it so likable to read and so make similarites between the two.
