Glass Flowers (Free verse) by Bachus
You are as convicted as a poorly blown nose
Often, I will catch brief gossip here and
there about you planted in some other debacle
about as fascinating as an overflowing toilet
decorated with bits of shit and mottled paper.
Why people think of you when chatting with me
is hardly a mystery? They don't know me, and
they certainly don't know you.
I would never walk out on my family.
I am loyal to the innocent,
and wicked to thee unjust, and dishonorable.
I believe in more than myself, but less in you.
And I would never, ever, buy a plastic plant,
or artificially scented glass flower.
