Poetry from the Creek: Graceless Case

it is a graceless case of you stinking worse

than an entire army's combined stench - in
this case its the 14th century BC Egyptians

who bogged in the Red Sea; Suez may not

see it offensive these days since they’ve all

learned the lesson, whereas you old friend,

I guess, never paid a discretionary homage

to it and continue to stink because you can

so be it; I confess there will be an up-wind

change due for you real soon - stay out of

the study while I am writing, or risk a suite

bemused in bewilderment of bathing dates

fused inexorably to an enhanced sense of

smell I face great difficulty containing
