i drink to deal with a world that can’t deal with me


am i all you need?

you gentle flower, fragile seed

you steer what is clear

otherwise my near

is to be feared

 

my near is to be feared

what’s that word?

unacceptable

 

can we just be honest?

co-write a love sonnet

erase every line

that isn’t about the vine

that must be nurtured by me

so you can be happy

 

i know everyone else is brilliant

and i’m lacking any thought

because i have not brought

service to your satisfaction

 

justifying your dismiss

 

because i won’t matter

until i flatter

all your chatter

 

and admit

for an acquit

that all my art

should start

 

with repetition

of your definition

of sedition

 

which in complete repentance

and groveling i will be

only your need
