shaving dry to set a spark
rub in soap and ride it out
the fingers are so clumsy but
talent brags foam up the mouth
is it the youthful face, or dress
that clings like foil around the waist?
not self-awareness, but contempt
the true enlightened prophet makes
morality like marbles,
shining silly and misguided;
never falling out of love, but
finding better ways to hide it
