No advice from lint

          I opened the aluminum mailbox and looked
No stocks inside an envelope's seal while two
Utility bills gaze hungry in a endless appeal
While the lint in my pocket is alone and uninterested.

Two lovers make love despite their sunburns

With motion slow and gingerly they place
Their outward forms, broiled bright in carapace,
Like linesman handling bared high-tension wires,
Dreading the surges of abrupt desires.

big enough to set sail.
