"Wet Flatware"

Two docks, up at the scent door.
Rigid mirrors check my building
                        tears & service
Eye    like a silent film cleaning
                        out the reference
desk, a focus is expecting dust
                        the top took to kiss
assume neutral article
it came loose           You make
                              the sounds: ah, ee, oo
                                              No mistake, some view
