THE PRESUMPTUOUS CLAUSTROPHOBIC
Like a dialectic bowling ball
reluctantly accepting
its centre of gravity,
or take-out aluminum containers
their reflective beauty subsiding,
I watched her undress
not folding nor filing
avalanche to this disorder.
Stimulus over,
I went outside to smoke.
The bed was on rollers.
