Poetry, Relationships

When all else fails, shave your legs

<FOUND POETRY>

Ultra Sensitive
Ultra Sensible
Contents under pressure.

You don’t have to sacrifice
comfort or
closeness.

We recommend       shave gel
like my dad on Saturday
over wet skin
like Bernie at Atlas Paints

You don’t have to sacrifice
comfort or
closeness.

We recommend       shave gel
like the neck of a hairy bear
almost man
who promises the Blair Witch Project
isn’t real

Do not place near
sources of            puncture.

like my husband on Saturday

Keep out of reach

like a chilled river running over a boulder
and I am that boulder with my head bowed down
and 

Glide.
