Linked bracelets keep arms from flying,
and money-colored nails crucify palms in pointed, pointless stigmata
Curb but create a fisting problem, along with
matching ring cuffs which
Eyeballed size is so off eventual amputation
is a shoo in,
and ultimate, future ice-breaker, besides.
as in: “nice nubs–is that hereditary?”
Belt skips leg up loops
but bands gut feeling
(more effective than surgery for wait control)

but chokes a 1st rate, Winchester noose for most everyone at least once.
(I’d hazard to say)
Slung in secret over dissolving moonbeams
just persistent enough to last
until tags pop off heifer-pierced ears. . .
Until cheeks full of tongue darts explode!
