gothic keys

the air is still warm outside, muggy
with hint of sinus. allergies are big
business. an off key acoustic guitar
guides toot toot waiting
for the wire that delays
while the price increases.

shoulda been long long gone.
bubble on the end of a severing tongue
inflatable beliefs bent with participating breath.

a pop and a wow. cap guns with playful intent.
plastic arms tangle with nylon hair , a heavily black
lined blinking eye, rouge the cheek, bow lip,
lashes of innocent thickness. the dance floor
is a spider in a tangential flick. you are the circle.
tell me how the dark creamy center feels
after the first bite.
