A Love Poem

My truest love
Your eyes sparkle like my
     Dog's poop
     That time he ate my keys
Your hair is
Curly and wild like the
     Cat hair
     I pulled out of the vacuum
Your laugh is
Loud and rumbles like an
     Old car
     With a failing engine
          On the side of the road
Your skin is
So soft, like the warm
     Flesh of
     A newly shorn sheep
And our love
Is so alive, like my
     Baby alligator
     Two hours before his tragic demise
I love you.
