Is it possible to have more than one trip of a lifetime
and then take on my next canvas?
Surprise me.
Shed the suit and pitch the pumps.
Take on my next canvas
with a perfectly naked nail.
Shed the suit and pitch the pumps--
your dreams miss you.
A perfectly naked nail
notices feelings of fullness.
Your dreams miss you
in a matter of minutes.
Feelings of fullness
close the contentment gap.
A matter of minutes
knows no such thing as "too close."
Close the contentment gap--
the sudden disappearance of worldly cares is our pleasure.
There's no such thing as "too close"
in the bathtub.
The sudden disappearance of worldly cares
makes everything cold in December.
In the bathtub,
there's no passport required.
Not everything is cold in December--
surprise me.
No passport required
for more than one trip of a lifetime.

I cant tell you this though. I loved how you reinforced the line "a perfectly naked nail," as second time into the poem.
Good Pantoum,
