Delaney

Didn't ya corroborate
your story first before
coming out swinging?

If this is the new mode
of winning I am in want
of new, delectable prizes.

I am eating metals
like ice cream: I dream
you caught me drooling.

Loving school, I trip
on sentences spooled
around my ankles.

I return to you
a fool, eyes sharpened,
a touch, dangerous.
