Approaching Fitty


This savage, doltish onslaught

shatters the crestfallen bulldozers

Euripides once wrote about.


My resolution is still a verse.

And I've got my crane out.

I keep

crude company.

I admonish

puns about my paunch.


And while I'm still ambulatory

my wells restrain melons

more indiscreet than Cary Grant.
