Love words are plopping

The scariest guy in town
sits on a bus bench
beside his sweetie true.

His prison-gym forearms
coiled energy
all Pop-Eye'd and snarling
with frenzied shag

end at knotted hands
tranquill in her lap.

Driving past you can hear
love words plopping
like hash
onto metal trays

out of that
crazy-Joe
bushy beard.
