Innocence of Teasing
Twisting brain cells 
 by the synapses,
 
 Erasing joyful little
 jokes with backhanded
 compliments,
 
 Affection misdemeanors
 in the tinted
 grins,
 
 Sticking comedy on
 sarcastic skewers
 to fry,
 
 Imaginative wordplay
 add insult to injury,
 
 Naming faults with
 cold, humorless
 precision,
 
 Ginger apologies made
 with eyes confused by
 English madness.
 
 [TEASING]
