I do like an occasional ice cube

on my thigh, but a box full of
warm tongue is a great way
to spend an afternoon. that
little white lie about sexual

maturity, it doesn’t have to
be elderly is hardly a punch
crying rivers of semantics in
search of a crime. an act that

can go both ways, dramatis
personae chugging ow! cha!
slamming a shoo-ca-choo-ca!
like an incoming train emerging

too fast just from a tunnel toward
you, its temper a cauldron screech
ing annie are you okay. are you okay
annie. annie?
and what of all of the

women struck down? it was their
doom? in the time it took just to
melt down a single ice cube, coal
into lava, massive diamond into

liquid-centered snow globe.

               Sounding heartbeats, intimidations
