Spandex Bone Dials
Like butterfly wings,
it flutters about
like menstrual cycles.
Never within a straight sign.
Paroxysmal.
Like lionesses straddling plains,
it blows in gusts.
Howling. Seeking. Whirling.
Depolarization shift.With a knowing verve,
it wraps itself
about our beliefs.
Clocking our
every move.
Capriciously.
Humping us
above the waist.
Doggedly.
Tick Doc.Sluicing its
knighted rook
down vertebral steps,
Pawn. Bishop. Queen.
Tick Doc.Staining our
glass shorts with
spandex endgames and
square bone dials.
