You’re looking at me as though I’m enough
to strike your match, hit home;
and it’ll devour you, lungs first
as you watch me, your worst.
Frankenstein, you and
I, your pocket litter.
.
Ephemera balled in your jeans –
Picasso of your genes.
You sud yourself neck-deep in
lemon scented hand soap,
still hold out one last lathered hope
that you will see me without gasoline.
There’s a dishwasher between
what you say and what I mean,
and though you Brillo your forearms raw
and scour out your washed up wrists,
I’m the pentimenti drying under your skin
that rise as you clench your fists.
.
For those that strike matches
This is just wow!
