To the Wire

from the hierarchy 
of rub: flight or fight 
anyone? an outburst 
without shadow never 
razor burns

stories ricochet 
all over the face, the structure
of being overwhelmed 

the old brainhall swinging 
away at old age anxiety 
relax—aloe or no 

smile, the authentic package
a new look, cleans up

16 ounces non greasy
essentially fragrant free

each adventure be by 
a shave, biochemical 

and alive
by a hair

Revamped from older poem below

Comfortable to the Skin

In the hierarchy of rub: flight 
Anyone? An outburst or significant after 

With shadow, it never gets a nighttime outcome 
stories+events+STORIES 
ricocheting the structure, being woke

Overwhelmed in the same old brainhall 
swinging more of the age anxiety 
paddlers approval—relax
aloe or no 

Authentically close package
a new look, clean

non-greasy, 16 ounces 
and imaginatively fragrance free
each made adventure
biochemical be

  1. I like the original, and I love the revamp! (I also love the word 'revamp', preferring it to 'remix'.)
