By gum, stomach 
pain is a pointer finger
with a grimace on the
other end. Clarity is
a charity to the feeler;
confusion melts into
contusion as the bones
prefer to stay set. Candor
is a candle to the flame-
broiled handle, leverage
to show where feet
ought to go. Sticky
ground makes tape
sounds as a meander
begins to look like
a journey.
