Poets dangle words
Like lieutenant dangle’s balls
Readers wonder
As voyeurs

As viewers do

If they are going to experience

Horrible clarity

Terrible perspective

Linguistic wardrobe malfunction

Dropped decorum

That prospect keeps folks on the edge of their figurative seats
Longing to leave
But seemingly unable
Either paralyzed or polite or perverted or all that2.
A beautiful thought

A lady of repute

A lady of means

Keeps a chunk of ice
In her jewelry box
Inevitably it melts
Inevitably she replaces it
The ritual reminds her of temporality’s temperament
Reminds her of nature’s prevalent pre-eminence
Even in reified/refined locales/locals
