The first thing that came to mind when I read the title was Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible". I don't know if that is because I am dyslexic, or if others would also make the the connection. Anyway, I had the song running through my mind as I tried to read the poem, not to mention those weird looking women he always had in his videos (or so it seemed to me). Sp maybe a consideration of a title change. Regardless of that possible connection it seems awkward compared to the elegance of the poem. I enjoyed the rhythmic quality and the internal rhyme help this along. I could have stood for more of a setting, especially in terms of the speaker as this caused some confusion and even after several readings the confusion remained. My proclivities aside, this was a very streamlined rail-rider that anyone from a hobo to elites of Art Nouveau could appreciate.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
