James Peranteau Poet Romanticism

toma esta

.

It's not az that bottle
  no one ever really
          found
      washed up 
        spit out
       from thuh
           sea

   It's this bottle
        i stood
     mine thewz
        rattling
   prep'd tuh toss it
         but i
       know'd i'd find 
           ya
   under   bankerz 
          my
          this morn'nin
