Adjective Dream New Bloodcontest
A dandelion sun floats in a
Ty-D-Bowl sky, and
dewy young girls with hair
like shining copper pennies
and unsalted butter
bathe beneath it.
With faith born of MTV,
they worship Ocean---
her heavy metal fury,
her power ballad calm.
But Eros interrupts,
sending her own virile priests
with Bowflex bodies and
Energizer loins
to defile the idolators.
Ocean rebels
and paves the lazy sky
in asphalt clouds.
Sharp quills of rain sting
both priests and congregants
as they run for cover.
Eros laughs.
Ocean waits for another day. -5/16/2015
