Wringing a Living

" Wringing a Living "

Wringing a living
with the faultless fluidity
of a flimsy simmer
with flinty close kin


in voice overs
from the pokey
as out takes of hope
too often mis-spoken


patiently free of shame
like compilations
of non-inspiration
in neck chains
at an ambling pace


in blown noses
and overbites
watched over
ineptly in tone
as crossovers


exceeding grasps
at odd angles of morality
while fawning glossily
as brazenly poignant
straight talk
guilelessly lively
ludicrously lovely


in nude photo shoots
true to style
profoundly satisfying
when glimpsed from behind


obnoxiously spotty
sequenced with slobbering charm
while throbbing with discards
of the comically spot on


agreeably bleak
like encirclings
of terminal timidity
superciliously
lacking in sympathy


breathlessly sexy
implausibly
swimming naughtily
along sidewalks
of chalk drawings


like miasmic bon amis
beat up preachily
by innkeepers
as secret ingredients
come back cheesily
in pre-released
emergent indies...
