notyourbroomI ornament my spiny words with glitterly lipgloss and tart sound
because I far over-value written communication (in opposition to 'real' communication,
an arena for which my tongue rolls slovenly and vapid;)
while the liquor-scented, fashionable makeup-corpse
(who hops from party to party like a strong, scalded frog)
applies instead all its aesthetic heightening to its own visage --
and treats words as small, darting puppies,
droolingly digging bones in the social meadow.
puppies with ribbons and noises burned on them just get tangly and sorrowful, yes?
yes? yes. unfit for digging, unfit to fetch; fold them--
the ears grow too clever.
