                                 the axman came
                                      —August Kleinzahler

Oh, to be attached as the grounds turn sausage.

“You’d better hope he has a crush on your beard.”
“But I like to know whose ass I’m chewing on.”

Sweet.

Sweet to be attached; a bit of a tango,
spooky, creepy, goose pimply, and then...

the axman came.

We fell apart at the seams as oh,

but he came. And he came and he came.
And he came and he came and he came.
