Sexual Invalid, Part II

Eraser tops that wiggle and wrist snappers showed affection years ago.
What used to work, hurts.
So take off the rings that don’t prove a thing and scratch the paper,
rub it with a pencil, and call it art.
Anger is art.
Mediocrity is no sin.
And velvet, panne even, is as warm as an invalid needs.
