	Should they wet my body
	And then apply cream

	Achluo the demon that lurks

You knew you were going to die. 1
And yet you came, thinking no matter how insane,
the man on the seat of power would never want you dead
… it would be too much on his head.

When habitually roused from early
Mornings
Newly awakened sounds.

Electrical milk floats whir...

G-forces push you through your seat
Inkiness outside the windows thickens
The planes’ destination silently...

amply endowed with bits to spare
undoubtedly cute
without dispute
had a penchant her wares to lay bare
