Recline, bitch. I bring news
gooder than Sunday’s new loafers.
Today your braids cascade
& give the buses something to pump
the breaks. Merciful scalp. Savage
edges. Trumpets take up full
course meals for you. Oxen outdated
in their ending participle. Oxtails
by the boiling pot. Luxury evolves
basic, from chairs to couches, but seams
poking & proding for the inner rot,
part of the frame
liable to termite engorgement,
what was made from hack
goes back to hack. The kindness
of trees is ticking,
Their sweet is for them.
