How we all become

A sun spot
Toes that bend this way
Ears sprout hairs
Everything goes bristly

Movie star handsome, they say
Tall, dark and stormy
Pieces of performance
But on underwhelming stages

Biting to chew
Letting the dust settle
Then collect
Then stick

Water collects in corners
Rounding out stone
But also creating sludge
Discolor, repeat offense

Acceptable measures
Five over
Seven
Hit at 25
Completely reasonable

Making amends
Is a time machine
Stuck on reverb
A guitar pedal
Humming bar string axis
But gone still

Becoming solvent
Alerting the media
Fixing a hole
Camptown races
Favored scenarios
Cheat days
This is how we disappear
