Because who doesn't like sexy poetry? Certainly not you.
From the Best American Poetry blog:
Match the poet with the quote from his or her poem:
1. "I groped for him before I knew"
2. "you slip/ half-a-foot deep into someone you like"
3. "new memory like a seltzer in my crotch"
4. "he kissed her Anne Sexton/ and she returned the favor, caressing his Ted Berrigan"
5. "that slippery ingress ... its complicated fragrance"
6. "Gently, with my lips/ loosen the button./ Have them slip into my hands/ Like two freshly poured beer mugs"
7. "she wanted him hung up on her breasts, not on her feet"
8. "The clam shell opens./ The oyster is eaten."
9. "At each beat of his heart it threw/ An odd little nod my way. From the slot of the spout/ Extended a drop of transparent viscous goo"
10. "nude ghosts seeking each other out in the silence"

...Um, is the first one Emily Dickinson? I clearly don't know anything about poetry. Philistine.
Also: "beer mugs," heh.
