Love at first sight

GAUDY girl in yellow and green meets
GUMMY guy with no teeth to be seen. He’s
SQUAT and squishy like teriyaki
SUSHI, or someone who’s drunk too much sake.

Late to be out

A MISS rolled along the street, decidedly waxy,
LURCHed into a nearby bloke, gave him a
SAUCY grin, and greeted him all
SHOWY.  He gently smiled, sent her home in a taxi.

Ordinary Graces

KNEAD each day’s dough and
DALLY in the slowing slips of time. Mine
AMAZEment from ordinary veins of rock. Mirage
IDEALs will have you blinking and next you know it’s all gone.
