Can someone help me to change two words--salamander tongue and
Alzhimer's skin? What I would like to convey is tasteless tongue and
insensitive skin.
Sivakami.

AM I OUT OF THE VANITY CIRCLE?

I am not a stumbling poet.
My seven senses open to trap
images like a pitcher plant.

Thoughts boil and melt
and I pull out strands
of lines in string consistency
Know the exact moment
to extricate them .
Have no need to test drop
in water.

Have no need to bend my yellow beak
and look down at my down feathers
Or shake the water out off my duck back
like a performing poet.

Have no need to repeat
certain lines twice to hammer
distracted kids their ABC
or toast imaginary pancakes
in a mock appreciative gesture
to focus on the twist
in my poems.

Can understand that in the Ghazel
the repetitive couplet lounges
in some erotic space.
But what use is parroting
to a plain forthright poet?

Never going to spill
Good red wine
even if you spill
equal quantity of redder wine
I scratch my back
You, yours
Absolutely no mutual scratching
Necessary.

Perhaps I am in my Vanity circle
I know the exact potential
being sure I feel self assured
And can doff at critics like
Turning a blind eye, deaf ear
dumb mouth, salamander tongue
Alzheimer's skin and continue
to pen my thoughts
knowing full well
I use a different idiom.
