Cool as

Cool as a candle without a flame.
Cool as a snowman's fresh disdain.
Cool as the other side
of the pillow
is.

Cool as your own reflection
in a lake,
in a glass,
in mind,
per circumstance.

Cool as the breeze
off an ice cream cone.

Cool as the business itself 
(the biz)

Cool as an iceberg's bottom
half.

Cool as a one-wipe dump. Oh, please. 
Cool as a swimming hole. Cool as breeze!
Cool as a customer, actually right 
for once.

Cool as confidence and ease. 

Cool as not caring how much
or little
people who don't know you
think of you.

Cool as whatever anyone wants,
so long as they can get it
themselves.
Cool as boo 
to a goose.

Cool as...

a hunch 

- that you can back up.

Or that you can't. Sometimes 
that's cool. It's cool. 

Cool as elves. 

Cool as a rhyme that doesn't quite 
land. Cool as a bird in a wide-open 
hand. Cool as a pose
without a stance.

Cool as a stance 
without a pose.

Cool as a perfect suit 
of clothes, or trying
that outfit off
for sighs, or

for show.  

Cool as a chance.
Cool as a fool in good cause,
such as love. Cool as a cloud-shaped
cloud, above. Cool as a
metaphor for itself.

Literally. 

Cool as someone else, who you have 
no reason to know, so far. Cool as the
temperature where you are, if it is
indeed

cool.

Cool as a dare. Cool as a risk. 
However cool either of these 
things is,

- in a given case. 

Cool as an ace with a heart 
up your sleeve, played close 
to your vest in a time of need. 

Cool as a candle without a match.
Cool as a candle without a light. 
Cool as a candle generally. Right? 

Candles are cool! Or they can be, 
sure. It all depends on a lot.
Context! Cool as a hitch
without a catch. Cool as It
Is Itself, just now.

Might be less cool, somehow,
or more, next time, next place,
next thing itself - galore!  

Cool as a bare-ass baby pic.
Cool as an iceberg's underwear. 
Cool as a cone, when you get

one lick. 

Sometimes we pick. 
Sometimes we share. 
Sometimes we get none, too

That's cool.
NOT FAIR
