Olivia Wilde's Jawline

Olivia Wilde's jawline, she said, is perfect

I was deep in my brooding

and resented the interruption

Just look at it, she said

So I did

As usual, she was right

That jawline was flawless-

square but not too square

the ideal angle

for a line of stars

in my favorite constellation

or a tiny row of butterfly kisses

It was as if the goddess herself

had sculpted that jawline

from her own stash of divine clay

right after making conch shells

and right before creating orchids

So I forgot why I had been brooding

because, once again, she had reminded me

of the sublime.
