The Gastly Gum on the Bottom of My Shoes

The ghastly gum 
on the bottom 
of my size nine shoes
Was put there by you~
A spit of spite;
A malicious verse,
A romantic curse~
Your love is slightly underwhelming 
Like a supernova imploding!

Beware 
The dogs of war,
I swore ~
Dreaded double-bubble 
is my sword,
I will stick you to the freeway fast-lane
(You rundown Gandy Dancer),
And like Marvelous Medusa, 
Turn you into languid stone 
for eternity…
Or for ten enchanting days,
Whichever comes first!
