there's something about
'shit'
not scatological.
the edge.
the sacred,
bitter, hit.
deliberate.
of someone saying it,
spitting the
syllable-
while wearing a stolen
black leather jacket
and red lipstick
stubbing a cigarette
and cursing sideways at
'men and their...'
back handedness.
from an artist's mouth...
maybe a woman's...
but the taste
it's like metal
it always cuts-
just right.
