Orange Blossoms

The times that are fat for me are lean days for the sea

One step behind, my strep throat spreads by kissing spree

No one can stop me, while I float on a donut from Tony

Ocean all around, I gloat like a clown looking at his own egg

I go to the packie to throw down for a hard ale keg

Jerk like a pony dosed with nerve agent, I prance and wag, free

When I crashed, my exhaust manifold impaled a great oak tree

You can’t spot me from among the clouds of bacteria and steam

When I see the path, and get going fast, my eyes gleam

self, I’ll help, let go of infinity to let yerself be

Tangy teeth touch on my lips like a cat’s tail brushing my eyeball. Swiggy swoosnetter, share my newsletter!
