THE PHYSICAL REVIEW
There's a cold doctrine somewhere held
or just underneath the girls
who open up their legs
while traveling at night
pretty heavenly pretty tough
just visiting after dark this time they say
is this a place
like the bushes
to love in
until it's steaming up
like clover motors
those heart fingers
that fundamentally decide
where we are narrow
and finally cry

| Praise for Patricia Behr Whitten |
| "To read Patricia Whitten's poems is to be with Alice in Wonderland: things shrink, slide and grow, the ground drops away beneath one's feet and logic is turned wryly upside down. She is a wonderful writer and a unique voice." |
-James Krusoe, The Santa Monica Review |
