Cutting between your teeth,
I am candy floss.
My sugars soak,
in the gaps of your gums.
The bulb of a tulip
hovers over the ground.
Grass lilts in the breeze,
twists its spine, and sighs.
A hand made up of all valleys,
no peaks.
Canyons formed in the skin,
stretched across his knuckles.
Beetlejuice couture, found
in the silk of a bathrobe.
The spiny feathers fall
from nape to toe.
And a net flouncing
around a basketball,
as it sinks
through its center.
Who am I?
I am Wonderful.
