I know what you try to say
through clenched teeth and miffed tongue -
I've squeezed the juice from your words, tasted
the sour choices you made.
...
Let's act like we're on a boat
together.
You sit on the edge and let your feet
...
Since the night my shoulder got into a bar fight
I've been hanging my sea legs off the boat,
shooting at fish with my Glock 17.
I swear I've hit at least twelve. They float
...
Your eyes are the Sundarbans,
floating in high salty waters, unseen without a map.
They are reserved for tigers only,
none pass without stripes.
