A sly smile beneath | 3 |
brooding eyes, penetrating | 4 |
teeth: it's I who capture your | 5 |
flesh and make it crawl | 6 |
into manholes and cubbies | 7 |
where it's safe to hide out | 8 |
until it's light out | 9 |

the white out | 10 |
the tear stains | 11 |
the gravy train | 12 |

Yeah, fed ex sucks

Damn, this is excellent. It's like a quick slap in the face from someone who turns and runs off before your cheek starts to sting. I'm just getting lulled by the seduction in the first full stanza when the last suddenly cuts and runs with a fast barrage of rhyme. I'll probably read it two or three more times now.
Thanks,

Great title. Mine are usually apt but boring.
The poem itself gave me a wedgie. I previously didn't know I like wedgies
— housepoppy
very surrealist, it made me laugh (esp scuba gear for the gravy train). nice work
