The Test

A pink stick all it takes are a few drops Terrified Nervous Excited The line moves One line Wait 3 minutes No second line Exhale A breath of relief slight disappointment Have to wait a few weeks Smoke a cigarette Appear as if theirs no idea Think about the trouble dream about the joy I'd hope for a boy Pat my belly and think is this a disappointment or relief Stash the other stick Have a beer and go to sleep Even if it's true Have to hide it from the other room Can't tell until im on my own Rent would be over blown Go from 100 a month To 300 a week Scumbags stealing money That they don't even need Drift to dreams emotions shifting as i sleep

As I read chronicles of Roman history I think about how fruitful your reality would be for readers two thousands years from now Jay, and how similar - maybe you'd give birth to a new Spartacus - J.A.B. %
