a sexy inhalation of mucous
sings in your ear
as I sweat with a cold armpit.
Embrace me!
suck out my insides with a thin straw
and rid me of this bitter fluid
lick my lips and dance with the teeth who promise to do you no harm,
the little liars,
the crooked fence posts who ooze originality and breathe toxic gas
they shed their top coats and turn white,
pure and simple as a daisy.
