For A., with love
She,
has taken up drumming;
but doesn’t own any drums;
kinda-drifted away from
writing poetry, drawing too,
but doing well nonetheless,
sourcing her creativity by
beat-ing up on her Otto~Man;
Otto never complains;
never resists, and now
agrees this isn’t abuse,
just therapeutic love;
though costless to a degree,
it’s still lots cheaper than the
new HP
True, he (Otto) doesn’t twinkle,
never does he get a⭐️,
except from her, and she’s
knocked out some decent
backing to Black Sabbath+,
yes,
heavy metal still exists!
Otto~Man is a good friend,
he absorbs her love with a
braceful uncomplaining
de~meaner, and when the
drumming exhalation is done,
even though he is armless and
harmless, come the long nights,
Otto,
opens wide to
accept her
sleepy heart
thrumming,
drumming,
beating
with love that comes from understanding & appreciation
