A Confetti of Awkward Hellos and Euphoric Goodbyes

The sight of her face 
inspired my belly 
to swell swiftly, 
and erupt 
into a confetti 
of awkward hellos 
and euphoric goodbyes. 
  
His voice belched 
with the throes 
of titillation. 
He knew his dog 
day in the sun 
had come to be 
for you and me 
and she, ya see? 
  
Her hair was 
the color of 
a bleached 
anus. 
Her skin had 
the texture 
of freshly 
smelt copper 
(meaning it 
was very hot) 
  
And I was very merry, Jerry. 
Very merry, indeed. 
  
It's just a symptom of 
relinquishing time, and 
Pretty soon 
your spleens will be mine.
