I look deep in your eyes and a welling of bile springs forth all over your pretty spring dress. I'm so sorry. Want to take a shower and fuck?

There was this news item about a student barfing over his teacher. Just exam nerves; the explanation he tossed around

What did she see that brought forth a welling of bile?
Or is the bile figurative for what you saw?
In either case - yuck - why the last line?

Hmmmmm, i recal this poem in the Poetry Corner forum on www.braingell.com, why bother with the shower? Just hold your breath

So many nights just like the one described make me resonate with this poem. Now I have to shower with my flat screen monitor. A bit of William Carlos Williams or Carlos William Carlos in this one.
