Lordosis

by Fred Aiken

I once read a poem about lordosis

being the curvature of the spine,

which occurs when women wear high heels and

when they orgasm,

which I guess suggests that high heels were designed

to be sexually suggestive

for both the wearer

and the the terror,

but I could never find it after I read the poem,

though I never forgot the word lordosis and its meaning
