blather
missing_the_margins
in a silent way fear not the sin
but the sinned-against
teeming with acrid urges
to return the hurt visited upon them
tenfold

there's brass wrapped up
in the belly of the bed
there's ditchwater waiting
in the liquor's stead
there's a joke i know
but it always falls flat
there's a punchline missing
but you know about that
