When you told everyone I had ESP-
extreme stalker potential -
you robbed me
of the radiance of your smile how many miles
did I drag you
to shape and curve that skin again every night
has its errors
and terrors every town
has its open all night
car wash
for the messy side
of love.
55 extreme words for Kerry at Real Toads. Also submitted to Poetry Pantry.

Okay, that's just disturbing.
Haha Yes
" every town

ZQ
Brilliant. Every syllable.
Fabulous 55 :D
Ha. This is just terrific, MZ. Thanks. k.
Now I will never think of a carwash the same way again..
You portray the messier side of love with a fine art here, a portrait of disappointment, of one bereft. I think we all have a little of the ESP, even when we do not want to know the inevitable outcome.
Brilliant that open all night car wash.......
Ah, no one says/writes it better!! I guess to everything, including love, there are always two sides!! Enjoy the good side today though, MZ!!
Bahahaha - love it! Love it to death!
This suggests the plot for a dark novel. That car wash raises all kinds of questions.
the betrayal of a secret and the ramifications that follow.
Wow! This is dark, but I love it!
I'll just say WOW
Much love...
Dark humor can be a gift in certain circumstances,

Yup...someone's beauty can be erased by his or her unbecoming traits. good write!
I love the way you say it then stop – no frills but every one of the 55 words counting. ,
yeah i was too cloistered to have even thought of that use.
and for SURE Galen woulda been clapping on this one. ~
Wow!
I am cheering from the bleachers on this. ESP, very nice play on the acronym.
Dark and powerful!
Maybe it's my dark mind but i found that car wash made me chuckle - love is a fickle old wagon
The speaker's ESP made me giggle. ;-)
I love this. Every shape and curve ... every night with errors and terrors ... open all night ... and the car wash!
~~ At the Car Wash. Let's set your poem to music, shall we?
What would be the name of a car wash like that?
