                                  to hard enhalos poison smooth
outsider forthcoming, limp toy silly conjugal shutters
out error proved cheeks,
    simply would renunciate cut-out fleecing
ammo, abduct by division creams its duty
painted blind, bends with altercations squirreled in danger;
    uh-ohs slowly impersonal
                                                                fetch over gaps
                                  infatuate maddens.

                                  wrong too asking debutante tenses,
    conjugal cyclops’s getting a private spanking –
                                  yoke climax labial econometrics:
sperm cohabitation since intimacy;
    othering sameness
                                  patient – albino vamp abhor all widows
                                  one egg too many;
    the friends atrophy while the lovers recharge
imputed fleece vacuum

imitative secret sober for your inconvenience –
                                  avarice consumed f’you –
voluptuous despairing;
    possessive desperate gaiety
                                  missing hard to undo heaves in construction,
inhibiting respect
me enough to have her
caesura lust, delicacy.
    Is this your lump? –
                                  pleasure slaves
                                  duet shuts off
                                  moonlit bereavement: he said ‘zoo’ –

                                  fishing for trouble without the skull
& push with the other.
    Discretion’s climax – don’t fathom
depthless blubbers flattering cadence, inflate
                                  a silhouette – super red slap
                                  reification of lightning cupid initials
                                  unfelt to interact thoughts unheard:
is sex casual or a bonding experience? –
                                                                fast talk burn
                                                                distancing relationship
does not communicate itself; face is false front
lobotomized dear lobotomized veil to think
useless facts with butter.
    Night itself
that one instance dying to get even
                                  – ahpreh
orbit recourse
coy disavowal
tacit spouse levies pablum scenario with the arms capsized
stretch remorse resistant sweetened curse
                                  somber as tryst chit wedding sentence
                                  distance gets normal at a distance:
                                                                you mean sperm bank? –
                                  did you say detain or de-stain? –
followership decoded pressure as intent,
I’d hoped we’d have more fun.
    Oh heart beats faster, touch unsaid to bed
applause reply, reinterpreted, identity simply patent battle
pattycake some regret circling the late for bed –
                                  I Do – romance is act of will
                                  scarcely embodied to touch
                                  rhetorical armor? – rushed! –
as they say!
