arrrr black az pitch

.

                  'tiz 
         not mine dialect
        'tiz the thick this
                coffee

          past mine lips
                it slid
                thick
               slowly
        unto the back uv
             that thar
          dangly thing
          in my throat
           too thick to
                spit
             i choked

                yarrrr
          at three bucks 
               the cup
            no room for
            cheeze cake
            mine gullet
     stuffed to mine teeth

             the coffee
            the waitress
            the     pitch
                gulp
             bitumen
       greasy      grog
               spoon
                yuck
