we are

...bitches and assholes
breeding
in a cesspool past
succumbing
to a cliche
20 years in the making
my old girl/ boy friend
mother father
surround my feet
quicksand dragging
drowning
arms folded
stubborn resistance
i deny
any assistance from you
deferring to the
bottom
of a beam and diet
i drink it down
to the truth
that only
i can swallow

call it
like it is
a bar tryst
bar none.
