The Fine Slew of Askew


He straddles all with supine grace –
this fairy lying on a thread –
nonchalant – upending space –
as lightly as if spreading bread

with jalapeno peppers:
“OW!” he hears beyond the scrim
of his anointed fairy slippers –
unconcerned which her or him

he’s just exasperated.
Soon it will be me or you
he’ll toxify – leave macerated
in his fine Slew of Askew.
