crouching

Underline your vacation
and try to get the tan
before the clouds roll in.

Catch that tan before
the man rolls in--
taught in shadows, read:

"You got turquoise nails
in all the right places"
like

"your turquoise nails
fill all my tight places"
but it's public outside.

an audience
--gnarled and enraged--
standing, waiting, in line

to take a short glance
at the President who can't
help but hug the kids

"Mr. President please,
big fan, but quick question
about your State of the Union"

with the swat up and
behind the Sir who has an
oblong office space.
