Gadget Love

Black as the heart of hell,
Shiny as newfangled love,

Sleek as silver lined ring,
light as a mild heavy feather

Flashy as a sequinned LBD,
rich as chocolate mud cake

With a finish like well-oiled muscle
fits in the palm as a cake of soap.

As for the cherry on the top,
a scratch that makes the matte.

Growing Up

Weren’t you a slop in high school?

Didn’t believe that you made it big,

Couldn’t imagine you in a full suit,

Until I saw you lounging in a coffin.
