Dear Dope

dear dope 
you come at me willfully
dripping deliciously from the
lips of (a) god (somewhere)
dear dope 
ripping at tangles in my hair
you are a telescope of
persuasion (manifest
destiny) tokens that can be
tasted (but not touched)
dear dope
double dutch dialect 
murmuring 
the misused jumprope
sudden swift (sigh)
unties & slides oh
dear dope
