once bitter I found sweets
hidden
in my own cookie jar

had to take the vinegar out
first, pour it in the
yard

as the wise palm reader
had proposed
and lend my

soul to the unforgiven
had to make a balm of
wild toad legs

and bat wings and geese eggs and
mayonnaise and vinegar...
**** I already poured it

out in the yard, so
a little red dirt and vinegar
and it seemed to work

quite nice, I had no more bitter
thoughts
just gagged

when I tried to drink it
I pretended  to swallow
and it ran down

my cheeks
haha memories there
*******

but things seemed
to lighten up
and the sun

seemed brighter and the
night
not as dark

and I went to the palm reader
again
the next week

she didn't remember me
said when she looked
at my palm

you need
to
get laid, dude

your palm
is raw
