cold bold – hold sold
broken ribs and a thin scaffold
cunning fold, magnificent
in process a cutter mould
golden – a metallic brush
popped up candy sugar rush
slush, plush, so glistening
lips in shouted whisper “Hush!”
gentle soft – airy loft
a woman anti-Lara Croft
old Hasselhoff, unthreatening
healthy humans who never cough
tonic electronic – toxic sonic
repurposed waste and corroded galvanic
discordant rhyme, so decadent
titled – ugh who gives a fuck.
