Collection Maple Blues

No one was ever notified
the heaters blew as they always had
the nurse and the college girl still flirted
giving boys views of things they should never see
letting on they were less than what they appeared.
No one was asked any questions
The nurse and the college girl swam laps in the puddles between their thighs
they were collected in obscurity
they were ignored as only a true collector can ignore.
No one was notified
The changes had occured too quickly
the explosion was powerful but not enough so to really notice.
No one noticed
the collection had disappeared
the nurse and the college girl danced alone at mardi gras
they had the darkness of light
worthless in a sea of the same
sex was no weapon any longer
sex had decayed their thighs and flooded the puddles
they sucked on acid and bad vapor fumes
what could the collector do?
