A Bad Week
Your body hangs inane inside
__a loose tank top
__barely alive.
You've missed spots and I
__don't know if you're aware
__your patchy hair
sounds a warning siren there.
__A slick and shave'd
__your clammy skin
cautious bumps, the hairs' blunt ends
__And slaloming
__I think you'll find the ride
a plasma torch and other
__middling states of matter
__apparatus.
Indelibly you bob and wave
__your linking rings,
__your road: dirt-paved.
