Ah Duralex ah Sominex ah me:
What dream drifts down in time-release?
A Punch-and-Beauty showe. A bunch
of sphinctery kisses. When my Timex
addressed the lazy hearse, Semtex
unhorsed it. Some pulse endured
like a burr or a bonne at my wrist. A tufted blush
rilled behind the nicotine-
stained mountain. Was it you,
ladye? Tulips on slender stems
re-seminar’d the hearse which would not
‘splode a second time. Nay, the obverse, it
sighed till a moon roared in from Amnion
& finished it. Study, Drone.
