A Game of Singles

Season me in sauce for a little while
separate the fruit and add the sour cream
quantities of the necessary
such beauty in our needs
and I'm in the mood to straighten out
pepper and salt a sexual boy
find a bit of lost improvement
a fondling stampede
to make the sugar leak
explore, before I buy.

Damn! he's in bed drunk!

I hesitate to call again
kill the memory
separate the syrup of the night
there's room enough for strength
it's obvious he's full of bone
and rugby matches
exotic full-back
prefers a beer and a smoke.

Still, there's always Gordon
playing vintage with the cool
hair-piece sticks, at least
impresses heaps of reliable tarts
after his nutty riches
Gordon, 'top of the bubbly set'
guest observer at the tennis match
paying $90 for a seat
hissing dentures non-stop
to red heels in lips.

Pivotal healing is what I need
Saturn's influence rediscovering life
but Mercury is moving
and I'm not comfortable with that
I need to radiate
contemplate my potential
this lack of twenty two.

I must resist this sudden urge
of photocopy hunting
images of my younger self.

Hm! I'm not surprised!
Gordon rang and suggested more
than a game of sport.
