Mouthful

Genius quotations uttered from sleep deprived lips
are often lost ‘lest an inspired being types them
down into a list of unusual thoughts and perceptions.

Unique and individual ideas and ideals dribble
out of the mouth numbed from far too much vinegar
on the chips from the convenience store down the road.

Laughter echoes off the walls as the sober person taps
and tips the piece of English art onto a permanent
record which may be looked at again and rejuvenate ideas.
