PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

enshrouded in caloric bliss,

my profile is a warped portrait,

something Picasso might’ve

painted, out of an aggravated

state, toward the human race.

then there’s you 

with that perfect face,

meticulous makeup

and a plate of salmon

smiling at me

from across the table

with seaweed stuck

between your teeth

brushed

with a tool that vibrates

which i know you use

as you peruse memories of

my more handsome

teenage exuberance

such youth, it’s true

only seems to

make me the less of a sexy dude

and so you petrify

that once upon a time

palpitating womb

and shoot that selfsame cliché

from across the table

(you take marriage

for marriage’s sake)

‘look, is there something

between my teeth, dear?’

yes, honey, it’s me.
