TELLTALE

Workaday- 
grey 
goose—you can't

fool me! Your drab
and 
seemingly

recondite 
cipher 
of color—cannot disguise

what your 
crook 
of a body's sly shimmy

betrays
so 
plainly—out here

in the tardy 
blush 
of florid sun—

barely! contained
wellspring
of sanguine jubilation

at the prospect
of 
yet another 

easy post-rain 
sidewalk 
buffet of dried worm guts!
