Cholesterol And Petrol Poem by John Sensele

When Winter bubbles smuggle heat and beat bodies
Shivering and withering inside threadbare sweaters
Repaired over and over again to prevent Winter eddies
From freezing souls to ice twice or thrice because heaters
Flee in the wee hours of mornings jilted by sunrise
That chooses to booze, to cruise into the arms of new
Acquaintances insulated in thick, brand new turquoise
Bomber jackets with deeper pockets loaded anew
With teeth gnashing, feet clashing, and tits that slash and brush
Aside any attempt to share precious heat in the inter
Company relay race held every Winter to shed off fat and crush
Obesity, verbosity and pomposity meant to kill cholesterol
That deforms people because their feet have surrendered to petrol.
