Pickup Poem 19

Various Beard Oils and Creams

Shea and argan, bee and balm:

massage in wisdom widdershins

and conjure out the answer

to 47-down with a stroke. No

scissor, no Samson. The palace

stands. What Philistine flirt

could compete with a mirror?

Every targeted ad is hatchet,

wax, waistcoat. I know

I look beautiful. I am trying

to be soft and manageable.
