Note to Self: The Bottom
Here’s the bottom
line: is your poem
of such robust
spine and buxom
embrace of such
tonic balm such
bouquet and taste
of such sonic
boom exquisite
menu and coo
that it might coax
despairing toes
off of spotlit
ledges or bowed-
down heads away
from unlit stoves?
spine and buxom

menu and coo
These lines with the conjunction break in with a lovely strangeness.
