I wander Victoria’s Secret, flaccid.
\nThat negligee, those naughty thongs,
\nno longer speak to me
\nlike poetry’s<\/p>\n
paint splatters:
\n Black!
\n the playful kitten wife.
\n Red:
\n mistress, cartoon tiger.<\/p>\n
All business, business, business:
\nMachine-plumped carrots dangle.
\nTheir swaying mocks my
\nbreathing, soothes
\nmy clenching
\nsoftly
\nswaying talks
\nto me<\/p>\n
it whispers<\/p>\n
warm<\/p>\n
it nuzzles<\/p>\n
no, it slithers
\ninto<\/p>\n
me, its<\/p>\n
vicious<\/p>\n
reptilian
\nCODE
\n.<\/p>\n
I have set my jaw against you.<\/p>\n
I will drive you back!
\neach lusty pixel,
\nback into the sea,
\nwhere focus groups and pheromones
\nbreak
\nand break again as mist
\nupon my barnacles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
