of the Periodic Table, #79

The Golden Years do

bare ghastly elements

vastly attractive to

rejuvenating ads:

face filled in

by botulinum toxin

or spackle. Truss,

sling flab and that

floppy wobbleneck.

What droops firms

by goop, whitening

for yellow feet and teeth.

Sallow cheeks sag on

jaws now jowly,

hold their own classed by weight

as gold, we know, is. Atomic

Number 79. Pronounce aloud

its symbol, Au. Awww.

On another table, fill with awe

your bowl, the late fruit a little

soft on the surface. A windfall.
