men around the house

 HAND SPLINT FOR LIMP WRIST

haiku on why Charlie Sheen can never love me 

there are men who smoke

like there is no tomorrow

i am tomorrow

                                         a man around the house

his dreams of having men around the house

rose to realizations that all he held were

houses around men

awake he saw his lifelong love of dwellings

belonging to a dearth of love for people

preferring things to ideals of disorder

sprung form drowsy visions

of pre-recorded bliss

among the relics - broken schemes

now he walks alone

along the sleepy tiles

of spare nuclear array

familial shadows

dusted from the surfaces

of sleek intransitory spleen

            - armoires, sideboards, under-populated shelves -

chapters, spines, objects

culled from presents passing

his cheeks decry

nostalgia for the crocodile tears

he never spent

the alligator belt he bought online

            - fountains, youth, eternal pubic lairs -

rather tiny infantile droplets

feigned remorse

for knowing stolid pretense

            - inertia polished

will find the ways to comfort

away from terrifying blows

of what once posed as real

            - alive, undreamt -

flight

some men fly on Scrotum Airlines

to islands cast in semen

they memorize the land

the curvature of self taught testicles

wrought from gilded fleece

hung gracelessly by gawds of wit and wisdom

in their laps he mimes some blithe pudendic pilot

            -   poet wary of his sternum, bough

                        pimply sacs of gauze -

he flies to islands to abandon land

forgetting earth that claims him as fey folly

dismissing toxic dirt

floats on terra firma mounds

these watery orbs descending into torpid pools

but we digress  -

                        he soars

growth

 body hair: (paraphrased, then embroidered, from ancient Wikipedian folklore)

first a few sparse hairs

along upper base

of scrotal pines

next spare numerous tuft-lessness around the shank

then a thicker darker field

of apotheotic lilies - scrawny, crammed 

now the thighs and lower tummy

flustered by the sudden onset of such stuff

where dreams are shaded

later having reigned among umbilicus

through abdominal fears

other areas become aloof but crowded

sequences of sensitivity

these sociopathic androgens - their androgenic fare -

armpits (axillae), upper lip, (sideburns) preauricular regions

nipples (areolic halo of follicular debris)

mid-chest, neck, beneath the chin

beard, limbs, shoulders - dreaded back and buttocks!

a distinct pubarche’ian process

divorced from testicular maturation

leading to sexual fertility and fun

as a footnote to all this play

of strand and sternum

lock and thigh

pubic tresses may allow themselves to grow

among defective ovals, balls

signifying very little difference

between responses to the growth

of adrenal androgens

by men and women

obvious sex-dimorphic dissimilarities in distribution

primarily result from levels of androgen-eity

as maturity happens

as life and death occur
