Simulating Ruby Jubilees

" Simulating Ruby Jubilees "

Most wanted
maximized
matrimonial lives
visibly tightened
lifted and firmed
during reinterpreted
courtship rituals
reconvened
in preconceived
beauty routines




crushed mint
pink pepper
taking looks
up a notch
with whipstitched
tasseled zippers
as second hands
continually sweep



designed to be
precisely like
your nearest
fine retailer
cell-boosting
patents
getting graphic
in worn metallic pants


with looks that matter
like repair-wear
with sun-damaged
exactness
in the befores
and afters of the garish




iconic items denoted
by online buyers
getting their shines on
while simulating ruby jubilees
on intricate weaves of sterling
with slews of sequins
suspended from a trapeze
satisfaction guaranteed...
