Yellow Hair

Topics: classic

With that lime green hairnet         commonly used by butterfly dispatchers -         something your aunt might have commandeered         to put her hair up donkey's years ago,         I unjarred the bottle of air &         with a pair of forceps         tried to wrangle the life juices         from a Polyphemeus[1] in a manner akin to Ulysses         in that cave three millenia ago;         his gentle bleating like the whine         of the net across the gelatin fabric         of air or the flash of a tomahawk gliding         across Custer's golden hair.
