The Mustache!
What you might not notice
by reading these words
is that I have a
mustache
as I write them
and this mustache persists
even through
the length of this
sentence or this
poem and then,
at night,
underneath faint starlight
(or nights that aren't lit)
this mustache grows.
The length
of my upper lip is comforted
by these unshorn face pores.
In its gauzy blanket
I find warmness.
My mustache, my honey.
The warm syrup of my
mustache is what I tongue
when I lick toward my nose.
The mustache grows! Alive!
And like thousands of bad movies
these pressures
keep pressing.
The deep dreams they can't describe
in the mustache!
