(immediacy imminence and urgency) the currency of infraction

 

is a purchaser of sharpened teeth

and a tongue that should, by now, be relieved

of all extraneous niceties...

 

Forgive me, because I know you know the lies

and strong truths and distillations that

we forsake through the unspoken understanding

 

that tastes so much like sugary unpalatable placation

of lonesome souls inhabiting silent isolated places.
