eye laces

rude rude rude
women, their own skunkesque
demeanor
an invitation to perfume
with prose,
how dare they.
captain of their barstool,
texting while eating,
her juniper berry dry and floating
over the happy happy hour,
turn so sour, cough cough cough.
rude rude rude
women, self entitled
in pretense,
makeup, gear. texting while eating,
"don't look at me."
the gall. the cud.

"Cud is a portion of food that returns
 from a ruminant's stomach to the mouth
 to be chewed for the second time. 

More accurately, it is a bolus
 of semi-degraded food regurgitated
 from the reticulorumen of a ruminant.

 Cud is produced
 during the physical digestive process of rumination.
 The idiomatic expression
 chewing one's cud means meditating or pondering;
 similar expressions such as 
"he chewed that over for a bit",
 or "chew on that!" 

i make love with my eyes,
look at my shoes,
                            the laces.
