Give up this business
this shilly-shally of art
You have no right
to look in the mirror
at exactly this instant
what do you get
when you continue
a lifetime’s worth
of regrets & worthless
I don’t have to tell you
the answer begins with why
and ends with who
Do you think I’m talking to you?
How dare you bring
this plate of fried chicken
to this vegan unsanctioned potluck?
Or was that just
the beard you apparently
think you can grow
and then shave off
like no one noticed?
When all the time they saw it happening
