Admonition

Don't overstay your welcome. Tell yourself 

you're welcome elsewhere. Go there 

and pose in festive hose, a fractional regalia 

before the firehose. 

Let go the habit of disrobing bling 

miles from where you say you are.

Amid overcast endowments, various 

long-stemmed hostess gifts appear

imposing as curated lawn care. 

I dare you to hold still 

amid whispers quilled as a full 

and careless beard of bees.
