a roulette game
with the iffiness
of language.
This next bit
may devastate—
or else
sniff you
a few times and
leave you alone.
His verses her
ill-defined interpretation
conjures "full-body transformation"
clichéd before-and-
after shots.
Answers are little
but combs
which are hollow
of the honey
known as satisfaction—
and yet,
pleasure still arises
in our failure
to choose
between either side
of the paradox.
