i have anger like a highly polished gem, one that has been so obsessively buffed it is warm to the touch

I have anger like a highly polished gem
one that has been buffed with a specialty cloth.
the facets shine like brilliantine
and are warm to the touch.
Brilliantine is a word my head has always admired.
Is brilliantine a stone or a trade name?
Whichever. It’s fucking inspired.

I have anger like a cruise line without brakes
don’t know from whence it came or where it’s stored

the porters are hurled to the deck
Carnival Cruise plows through soil and steel
roar that buzzes and rips the air
Is brilliantine a stone or a trade name?
g*d help me, I can't begin to care.
