OH, LOOK ! BEAUTY . BREASTS YOU WILL NOT SEE

          

         Keen ? Even to start appraisal you must fall
         in . relationships end deep, lover of breast beauté.
         Better hurry, the Tags are out : for the cat walk no
         dogs allowed . district red hydrants lift. 
                                                   Pageant display drives
         might soon stop working, as bad hip splitters thread
         time past to sue; so roll with the redress, man. 

         Ankled ! plot lost vulturians : the view with crossed
         knees now considered toggling; own flown, they'll stay
         peaked . chest medal fondling. 

         There is one possibility : a crew of young fellas filing
         redacted snaps of sleep partners . a risky tort, hands
         down, rappelling the gorge; and far from the full
         court thing.
                                                                         So what’s
          left about to crow ? even the beach flyover’s off limits;
          vacations tossed to beast rough seas and great white
          stakers | bodies hauling up to shore . boat bloat nyreries,
          roiling everything.
                                                                 World wound tight
          fabric unraveling, looks like we’re screwed, mate; primed
          with . what we got now duly remastering the Oorah that
          sheds on cushions : given to give, dare who touch.

                                                                        On the podium
          for the cameras ? if you must, raise ‘n’ hold a child.

                                                                                  – W.W.

            
       

          

           
         MARA

           
        *CAUGHT still in desire's traffic-jam, Mara feels

        ‘Mara’ and ‘Qat’ are beached bricks on an island
         Of patience no storm can disturb in its sea
       Of restless angst that masks itself as Maturity
         And other institutions of Common Sense
         Like Vitamins, Organic Teas, Working Hard
         Making more Money & Talk To You Later.

        *YET talk now to each other they do not seem
         Keen to do, as though words were absurd outside
         Of their initial official engagement ‒
       Leading to no marriage. Still, it is as a couple
         Of cats that they sit there

         (from “Charon’s Anchors” by Brian Chan)
