Fresh Off the Runway by Kelly Sauvage Moyer

 

Fresh Off the Runway

This season’s babies

are made of mohair

and should be treated

with care to avoid

shrinkage and/or

premature detonation

unless, of course,

you are seeking

a distressed aesthetic,

which may pair 

quite nicely with 

a trendy pleather pant.

baby by David Wiggins

∴ gridlock grip radios rage harsh horns  blameless invisible hitchhiker riding shotgun with their baby’s spirochete-shaped toys  no hoarder of keepsakes yet these toys remain unbidden, in the car’s confines  navigation fogged voices speaking foreign lost in tongues unknown  a throng of commuters thundering past a stampede of haste  temperature spikes engine protesting overheating in defiance  tires wearing thin tread fading fast inch by weary inch  angry gestures fly as vehicles creep by their impatience palpable  brakes fail a screeching wail sqreeeeeeee head-on collision  a breath. a release  a moment’s caress of this chaos a minor delay  homeward bound. soon i’ll be on my way ∴ https://poetryandphoto.wordingway.com/?s=Spiro
