Ars Poetica: Boiler-room



Poetry is steam:
The lovechild of
Pressure and heat.
Vaporous.
Easily swept aside.
Moist on your lips
And the skin of your
Belly.
Its kiss burns
Though it lingers
Only a moment.

Is anyone else reminded of a spa steam room?

The comparison is an interesting one, definitely atypical. The abrupt style suits it well. Nice job.
