oil mist elimination

argyle scarf, khaki pants and socks
soggy on the floor like deliquescence of ice (MM)
like a conquered chrysalis it lay
want only to be locked in a display case, set on velvet cushions (GS)

...and moistness wasn't the issue
though they had both just been in the river (MM)
- Baptized so that sins may be forgiven
for they eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil - (GS)

Good being the before,
Evil being the 'side effects' (MM)
of memory's failure to grab each moment's subtle form
of a metamorphosis, told in time (GS)

And the second she got in bed she thought,
"Is this moment supposed to rhyme?" (mm)
"or have context, plot, or meaning affixed?"
"I can't even say deliquescence without having a lisp." (gs)

romance seems so old when naked skin
can't even shoo away the words (mm?)
A pregnant pause rings louder - wait
for silence beckons you to come. (gs)

All of the thoughts that buzz above
refract sunlight from the heavens - divine (AA)
though feet are scorched seeking water
on reddening fragmented shells and limestone. (O'R)
