Reflexive tilt: the last tango

by Laura Doom

Only a machine would think this way
involuntary tics and tactile toes
the grind of journalists at play
recounting fingers bitten raw
by common law
and garish Edgar Allan Prose.

Only in a dream could I be sure
of palliative care between duets
a school of platitudes to cure
without descending into farce
I wipe my arse
and flush the sea of silhouettes.

A playful poem, palliative for my parch, alliteratives for tics and itchy toes that keep me twitching and dancing in chuckle.

Short and punchy...witty stuff, Laura.
