'Leda,
how you been?
I'll
be in town
in
a few weeks'.
this
makes you think some nasty things,
but
just
keep
them to yourself.
authenticity
is so
demanding.
You'll
find that I
plucked
my feathers,
discover
that I've
become
hardened
in
strategic places
I'm
seamless
in
the dark
I'm
a liquid
in
the crook of your arm
you're
shaking
you're
spilling
I'm
waterproof,
stainless
ya
know.
