Hygiene Is Important
When you inch your way toward
My good graces, I watch
For the basics first – an inspired apology,
A slow tap tap tapping of your steel-
Heeled boots and an earnest effort
In purloining my hurts.
I watch for creative elements-
Give points for hygienic efforts
And decrustation of the corners of
Your lies. I wait. I wait for you
To call me Honey and I wait for you
To say Would you like some tea? And
You make it with real lime citrus
To cleanse my heart’s palate.
My brain throngs to implicate you in perjury,
In a larceny that voids forever. I search
Your body for springtime regret remorse
Reliability resilience remembrance,
200 proof honesty to steal pixels of my freedom
to shackle with truth so tight I can’t move
my brain. Hey, stop looking at my tits!
I don’t want much just you with innervated
Eyes and verisimilitude of thoughts, of articulation,
Of hearing, listening indulging.
Is this too much to ask for? Huh? Well?
I can train an ape faster. I’m ageing
Right in front of my eyes waiting for you
To talk faster with shorter gaps. Christ!
Get on with it.
