A Bad Week

Your body hangs inane inside
a loose tank top
barely alive.

You've missed spots and I
don't know if you're aware
your patchy hair

sounds a warning siren there.
A slick and shave'd
your clammy skin

cautious bumps, the hairs' blunt ends
And slaloming
I think you'll find the ride

a plasma torch and other
middling states of matter
apparatus.


Indelibly you bob and wave
your linking rings,
your road: dirt-paved.
