Slow to Puke

by starkat

~~

running fast
running slow
slow like turtle
slow way down
down to the ground
down to a crawl
crawl on your knees
crawl in mud
mud in your eye
mud in the engine
engine sputters
engine stops
stops and goes
stops on a dime
dime for your thoughts
dime for some wine
wine healthy for hearts
wine and dine
dine with family
dine out
out and in
out and about
about town
about having fun
fun in the sun
fun time
time for vacation
time to relax
relax and unwind
relax at the beach
beach with white sand
beach with bikinis
bikinis too large
bikinis small
small as a flea
small like grain of sand
sand fleas
sand in my hair
hair full of seaweed
hair smells like fish
fish freshly caught
fish raw like sushi
sushi is expensive
sushi makes me sick
sick as a dog
sick enough to puke
puke in public
puke in shower
shower
public
