Or In Thanks For Making My Good Friend Both Happy And Clean
a poem by a Faust, July 2019
Looking good and feeling good are still no good if vouch can nought
as easily be safed along avenues public of olfaction; since
virtue will not seek you, it is she who must be sought
and that most diligently and often, if one wants satisfaction. Whence
Many who come out early on a summer Friday morning, yet at arms-distances hold
all and anyone who would otherwise (and who could blame them?) take offense,
enjoy instead (because LavaMae) such fragrant transformation as may make Oakland awkward bold.
