"Heavy-Handled, Rattle-Battles"

"Heavy-Handled, Rattle-Battles"


None of them overlap
Faced to defeat feet
Looking down at a mirror
I saw evil, in my reflection
They seem to cancel each other out

Mocking creases snicker, loudly
Things are not always what they seem to be
I bulged away belts, and my dresses
I swing and sway, knocking over small things

Crying waves claim they broke their glass of water
Cogently heavy men, slosh in their in their high tops
Simply by walking by
This unforeseen being
This one kid
This one guy

Plots thicken, as the man entered his shoes
For the first time, she says his first rhymes
And this caught me off guard
So I discarded, the regard

Walking toes, and crawling fingers
Seem to linger, from the motherly whispers
I told you so
Not to call again, you eloquently scrawled

You walk from the room
In a bit dismay
Do the right thing
And tell secrets to this gawking way

Shake your booty, rattle his cage
Taunt him, and flaunt him
Give him his cute innocent rage
Pour the boy a drink she says

Rum-filled and milk-shakes
The lady sloshed onto the floor
Cooing men, stare at starry eyed eyes
Their caring harlots, they forever into gaze more

Silk blankets wrap his chest
His bran new leather jacket
Holding him close
You simply play a game of bump

You spill over the door frame
Clattering full glasses
In merriment before dusk
You gave way, to let a new day be

Dreamily smells of his scent, as you traded patter with him
His arm somewhere around your waist
Your fingers wet,
You were all with excitement

Magical drops from some of these gabbling drinks
The first date, where you meet, and greet
This extra, flubbing meat
Lift purses off the floor, replace it all
Give birth it all...even this full kitchen sink
Stare down the mirror, stand with lofty grace

Of what was meant to be
Even if new bumpings, happen in the future
Things are not always what they seem to be
So I say, swing those hips
And swing that cradle, you crease heavy girl
Hula-hoop around poles, and have a taste
Of a girl's mind

Oh boy!, you shout...with glee
Reflected rays gleam even in the darkest crevasses
As feet slip on the icy carpet, and fall into holes made of doubts
As you lay in the bed, legs spread wide
Foot-holds hold your feet steady
As the natural way, drops out of the load

We stand with our individual hands posted upright
We have a heavy hold, and kiss goodbye
The foggy breezes, from the bottom of this bottle
Time for one more game of peek-a-boo
When no more you have the time to doubt
One more doubt...In you
That you have met this boy before
Who forever fall from heaven
Holding his own, inside his ore-like
Shell.
