delight in disorder

this poem seemed to me to be about a man who is expressing his love for women who are not perfect but who are all over the place. he calls disorder "sweet"and calls distraction "fine". i think it turns him on to see woman whoe's clothes are all in disarray. i like his use of the word "wantonness". it's very creative and different. when i first read this poem i took the first line literally in that he was refering to a woman as a "sweet disorder" which clothes wants to automatically be on. i'm not sure why the speaker is so infatuated with woman who appear this way, but my guess it's the same raw infatuation that guys find with girls who have just awoken in the morning.
