Fear My Nostrils

You’re not the only one made uncomfortable
by these lens flares
twin pipes
that threaten, curl,
and shine.
They can wrench the wind out of a room.
Catch 5 quarters in mid-air. Each.
And when they sneeze
you turn away to miss a flash
against the back of that
prairie thunderstorm
cow skull.

    I think u need to rap this one, and pass it around for musical enhancement… I for one would like the chance to make the sound of a sneeze cum prairie thunderstorm (against?) a cow skull.
    uh oh – one of us is not right about the spelling of the word for flat midwestern land…
