Enticing
Powdered sin In a virgin pristine mug Sugar-tainted Milk painted Corruptly inundated with water. “Stained-steel” spoon Propped against the rim An oddity Surreptitiously submerged Inaction Smoke-snake slithers Gasping from the depths Fuming silently Spoon stirs Unwilling contents Heterogeneous partners In rhyme and crime Dissolves despairingly One homogeneous identity Scalding tired mouth Tentative Lips Burns a blue bunsen flame I watch wondering As you sip Sip after sip Dregs remain Intoxicatingly inviting Your caffeine-laced mouth Twisted tongue Acid teeth My mouth opens Involuntarily Ignorantly unaware You read on A neatly-folded newspaper!
