A small spat of spit
sitting for just a bit
before the shoes comes too
and leaves an imprint
hitting head on
more than a miss,
walking briskly at a pace
that even mall walkers
would be impressed at
I struggle with decisions,
I'm shooting for a square understanding
wrapped in this octagonal problem
Trying angles
in this organic crunch,
A cute one comes through
carrying costumes
retrofitting the house guests
for an evening of historical innaccuracies,
I've placed first
in every contest I've tried to lose
and never won a gold
in the ones before I was used,
I've lost my muse
Tennessee white trash
southern discomfort attitudes
all tapping feet
singing the blues,
I ring my teeth around
a champagne glass
and bite down before dinner,
Blood glass and plasma
force fed miasma,
Bitch if you don't
Man-child if you choose,
Teach me strength
before we say the "I do's",
Lost walking on the sun
burning sweet steps of sugar
in a candy coated thought of us,
I'm walking on sunshine
millions of degrees
above what I'm use to
still sweating what I'm born with,
Drip drops of anxiety
trickle down my knees into my socks
and we both know
there is absolutely no hell worse
than wet socks
