Doze

To secure his heavy lids, Vaghn
faced Ivan 'n said, "th' tube needs

t' be on."
        Ivan, with a face tainted

o' concern, said, "'er nails needn't

be so charcoal."
        "n' who ask'd you?" inquired V.
        Ivan replied, "a wedding's
a celebration. 
The air dries and dries

under V's lids.


        "Will woman you lawfully
this take be wife wedded your to?"

Tongues flap like land-stricken

cods. The groom clamps the scaly
surface like a trophy. The fans

palm-slap, lip-raise, stare. They,

too, approve of him 'n turn gestures
toward him, until the gremlin

emerges to elbow his shoulder.

        "Wake up Vaghn! Lory jus'

'fronted 'er about the black lipstick!"
