Feeling sucky, he smacked gingerly
around me, then stood and seeped.

Dropped a pearl, whose tongue
hung off the bed.

I shivered long johns
over the cusp of waist

slimming ring desire passes—
and snapped the band vapidly.

Time’s frail. We think we defy the mess
upkept—sag, joints, lines. Assigned

virtue to beauty and became
pious—downright dandified

foofy and loafered.
I’m not a big fawner

but to be impossibly stripped—
penis, pecs, belly button.

Succumbed lumbersexual
a smocked sculptor.

Tonight’s hues bone-white,
the tone white makes snapped.
