i had a wife but had to kill her
rotten whores are bad for a drinking man's liver
and on the table is harsh bread, "such is life" i said
peanut butter on a knife, bushy brows and memories
tubs of chocolate and cheese, ladies and gentlemen,
a toast, may we never die again, or cup a sagging breast
in a wrinkled hand, believing wholeheartedly in god
life's too short for false facades, i'm naked.
will you be naked with me, darling?
