Tit to the gut
Making love
On a squeaky mattress
Eggs from a rubber chicken
Protection from the process
Shitty day after two good days
There are many things to step in
Many pitfalls when crossing the road
Laundry is easy, people are hard
There are cracks and judgement
Differing opinions
Various styles and hair cuts
Often different than your own
Even the basement is not safe
Sometimes
Crack research teams
Shitting where they eat
Eaves dropping on their friends
Jotting down notes about
Watering holes and mating habit
And we trust them all because they
Listen to us
They talk to our pets
Nod at our confessions
About where we store our gold
And how we stack the deck
Against ourselves
So the next morning
We awake the king and queen
Of the losers
And the lonesome
And the living
Lovers
Of life
filled by failure
Schwervon!
