Poetry sucks on a dime when it's thirsty.
Poetry always lies to the cops.
Poetry makes you believe in its kiss.
Poetry has to go outside for a smoke.
Poetry knows the president is lying, but
Poetry loves smoke and mirrors so
Poetry doesn't care, admiring an audacity
Poetry can only aspire to emulate.
Poetry give you gasoline when you ask
Poetry for water, so the old blues says.
Poetry is an empty bed, a pair of old shoes.
Poetry just loves you to death.
Poetry spits in your beer & laughs, but
Poetry only really cares about the truth.
