the clouds float
as light as confession
like a wreath of corks tied together
decorating the water picked up by the coast guard
not as a distress signal but rather as ancient crotch stoppers
to keep secrets from leaking their truths as you can see they're
intended for wine bottles where they do the most good
confusion diluted with false emotion
weakened constitution lies there with her thighs spread
watered-down whiskey is good for a carpet picnic affair but
it does nothing for fire on fire time-honored f***ing that has both
lasting meaning and mutual respect
of course a silver reputation
cannot be corroded by a lack of judgment
or really anything in my special world of truth
where mayonnaise is spread to the very edge
of the bread, still
