To thumb through
a stack of blank paper
as though thumb
though thumb — might
stumble (maybe)
across a page
nee sheet
already staffed
with a dumbwaiter
falling for the stock
feed from rewrite —
deus -ex-LeMans racer-
cum-ambulance
co-Charon —
dupe of the ubiquitous
minor rising from a baby
grand entr’acte —
a bete-a-bete
with uxorious smoke —
pungent cheek to cheek
whiff of a slap
just before the blush
sinks/slinks
back into/to
bleached cage —
skin aka the skinny
on the sudden drop
in the winds and strings —
step-to-step
v step v. step —
only the never-
never worn-out
gloves wind up
carried out
on the stretcher
of a palm
about to fold
into a false fist —
front for
an aRmeD
