A Short Bust of Something
i am more handsome then I was
the zit has gone
the elastic is back in my neck
being no longer a stiff
nip to the shops on two bouncy feet
soon got unbouncy though
too soon
got a lot less flouncy
had to sit on a large dog
we huff and puff together
back in the lazy-ass den
penned an exhausting thing
tuckered out
evening crumples my blank moon face
brain is stiff
it runs out of ink
toss the pen –
zit back again
