Abbreviated A-lines
countdown
to the big night
prep primp mingle
sliding on rings
squeezing into the lift
feeling skittish and fidgety
shuffling up tux clad
uncannily hitting the racks
as stashes in plywood beach shacks with pop-up details
while turning apps into assets
making s racket unabashedly
slinging shopping bags
as it so happens
catch us catch can
particularly apt
like soup cans
of airiness
with distinctive flair
at art fairs
dimly visible
through plastic wrappers
beneath slim tree branches
on diagrams
for sculpted praying hands
mimicking a mantis
modeled in art class
as functionary fantasies
inscribed in ink
on silver fields for heathens
scabbed yellow silk damask
like digitized dragons
dressed to the nines
at quitting time...
