Description slip on the floor,
dirty and disappointed,
like that penny-candy look in your eyes
sometimes.

Is there a layer of grease
between your fingertips and my skin?
If so
don’t bother reaching out –
your gaze deep-fries me where I stand,
and I see you really just want to wipe your fingers.

The first two lines of the second stanza in particular are brilliant. Nicely done

Ouch. It does hurt. Did you have a particular person in mind when you wrote that piece ?

A combination of several people actually, though I'm sure most of this just came out of the mood I was in when I wrote it.

I'm not quite sure about the deep-frying, but the rest of it is very effective.

well, you know, oil, free-writing. These things slip out

I guess oil free-writing is not oil-free.

Really? I feel like maybe the wording isn't quite right ...

I think it works but it's a little too long...it would be an impact if you used fewer words.
