Real Talk

Expatriots await the nights in Kuwait

where the dingoes and dominoes and salamanders bait

the ladies in purple to their eminent doom

of sleazies and stabbings and babies in womb.

Don't get me wrong,

I enjoy a good time, if friends are around and we got a dime

or two

and a fire for the masses and we're shaking our *****

as if we are actually aware of the outcomes of our actions.

I know we haven't the slightest clue

what a Jesus Christ is, or if it hides under our beds at night

or if it was a Jew.

What's written in books can be written by crooks,

because literacy and knowledge are ******* beautiful

but can give one more confidence than the world has to share,

and the whole theory of Relative Pride falls to pieces when one has more self-efficacy than ability

and the children with their sweet little ideas and purity are not humble but fall victim to humility.

So what's in a name?

Letters, vowels, consonants and connotations

traffic tickets, family vacations

****** and protests (though not necessarily related)

teenage boys and ***** minds and those who have masturbated.

But who hasn't?

Those without names, or faces

or honesty or hands

probably have their members tied up in steel-spiked rubber bands.

I'll see you again in retox dehibilitation

and we can converse and create

while under the crutch of sedation.
