Easy Way Out

suit jackals laugh with
both hands in cancellation.

traffic always stops for
a three legged dog.


dirty windows hold Christmas lights 
the way an old woman saves the dress
three sizes too small.

excuse this rebellion,
a well thought out
gesture of fashion,with a hat,a brim
not as long as before.

another drunken tearful swollen cry
of no sorrow.

I've yet to buy one drink.
