I would like to introduce my daughter, Amber Pasquali, another literary unknown... |
|
All these men.
I see their faces,
in these crowded streets.
As if fallen birds -
their hearts like broken bone,
disfigured and mis-shapen.
Egos are like feathers
conscealing the transparent flesh,
which hides the confusion within.
Away from the rouphnecks,
jobs keep them civilized.
Once the whistle blows,
Find them clocking out.
from under their bosses'
or fathers' thumbs.
They watch the liquor poured,
throwing caution to the wind.
Their debts and duties---
as if the foaming head
of a lager,
--- to be blown off,
'till morning comes.

We have a comedian with the same surname...
I refrain from using trite lingo..
But you are both good in your unique ways..
