  the tools for everything else ...f*
« on: December 06, 2009, 09:35:58 PM » by Bernard Alain
today's horoscope said
a quest for raging passion
could easily drown
the rational man

but still the scales tip in a warm southerly hemisphere
and seemingly harmless peri-oral sensors
slither down abs
unbutton i's

naked I paddle through a
kluge in the drawers of
a sophisticated organizer

looking for the little rubber
hats but considering the possibility
that after the leg razor, nail
file and sewing needle pricks

the stars

could be correct
