Slip away from that place
of vile remarks –
that rule
of whipping tongues –
we
all recover
[in our hushed
subfusc holes] –
Don’t kiss
a restless mouth too fast –
avoid acid reflux –
it kicks
you when you’re down –
A
rule of two to be aware of
at all times
[an other does
not ever deliver you love] –
& equally you will fail too
