Fledgling

into a mite sweat
he broke the person
most concerned

mannerisms fussy
preoccupied clothing
and correctness

catching his hair
his face lined with drawings
vaginal prints as coffee

offsetting Kuala Lumpur
fingered her sack lunch
Kailua palms fit in fact

powdered Kahlua a dry
fan cunning cocaine crater
I wanted you to know

his tendency
to exaggerate
his forehead
