Lip--Sink
A little filler from the fat on my ass

A colorless, flammable, volatile liquid gets mixed and slathered
By an animated brush, deepening the burgundy on the pout of an animated pooper and
Concentrates a glossy shine on the cherry flavored acetal rims for the camera
Dimming the essence of the one who last sat...de-throwning
Effectively, the one out-housed as a singing-head-cosmetic.
Fleshy-folds updated to one bobbled and framed by an audio visual
Grasping for toner in its bilabial trill
Heckling the industry at its neck,
"If your lips are movin', if your lips are movin', if your lips are movin', then your're lyin'-lyin'-lyin' baby." (Megan Trainor, 2024)
Jingle, jingle--tap, tap
Karaoke with the video-TV-head-imposter
Lipstick on her teeth
Mincing words cooled and refreshed with menthol whose sound is blowing smoke to a pleasant taste on a palate of blunders made through churned water beneath the sound of a flush under a motor boat
Nicked and tucked floating in menthone glycerin
Odorless, colorless, flammable, volatile...
Poison, painted pucker that pickles young minds,
Quarantined memes, in the Matrix minus Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity, but with a resurrected Oracle--
Skibidi
Toilet
Undulant subliminal messages disguised as signals of future communication
Voluminous lip poppin' breaks the circuit like poppin' a peanut or a coochie
"What you know 'bout me, what you know 'bout me? What you know 'bout me, what you what you know?" (Lil Mama, 2008)
X-facto!
You know that menopause brings clarity for loose lips that can't hold water.
Zo, zrandma, zan I zplay zames on your zphone?

Depicting life as real as I can make it, poetry and narratives have been the canvas. I consider myself an anthropologist of sorts, even though, I am an educator by trade. A Bachelors in English, a Masters in Education, and a PhD in life.
