Untitled

Boys.

Boys.

Boys will be boys.

Boys will be done on her,

for she is heavenly, and

Heaven forbid he reaps the

one who sews and

supposedly

makes sandwiches.

Sometimes you have to stand back

to appreciate a work of art, but they

skip class and

have no class.

There is no art; only **** lips and

suddenly thrashing limbs.

This is wrong, says the dust speck

clinging to his soul.

You crave her, says the evil louder, go, go, go!

Boys, boys, all the noise with their toys

and every point raised is wrong

and mothers are ashamed.

The game of life was not meant to be played

with broken pieces, let alone broken rules.
