I just thought you
should know before
you go any further
and invest more
muscle spasms and
fluid breakage (you
were always birthing
some brightly dull
idea) under this
guard that you prop
up with the hairs on
the back of your neck
that could have held
if you wouldn't have
persevered past what
the doom-dames were
forecasting from the
very first outburst
that you cradled (you
always poofed your
bottom lip out when
no one asked for a
turn so I turned)
with the disbelief
of a florida voter
that could no longer
bear the shame than
I could wear your
name that caused my
throat to go dry so
I cough up dust in
your general direction
calling into action
the mites that might
have cramped our
style and I dropped
my reason when you
flipped down your
shirt (it's only
hungry when you're
in public so please
don't go public.)
