Slangy rebuttals
previously unpublished
as tennis-ball fuzz
thank you very much
for coming under
aesthetic umbrellas
admittedly not quite
quickly enough

with apprehension
like an almost
inevitable
water-color ruff
in tidy setups
for the bluff
and gruff
undercuttedly
dangerous
like stiffened lungs

pumping
under rhythms
of breathing
during encyclopedic
see and seeks
offering humongous
hugs plus
unlimited lipstick kisses...
