Pleased to Piss

Pleased to Piss

Pleased to piss

in a stream,

headed nowhere

but the full grayness 

of the ocean.

Somewhat like

the salt and pepper

of an old mans hair,

coincidently;

standing beside me,

but not next to me.

A fine cigar

would taste better now,

soaked in good whiskey.

Making a sparrow cough

across the way,

caught in a stream

of it’s own.

I pass the tobacco

to this mysterious

Mr. Mr.

And he smiles

as he wipes away

the pink lip-gloss

from the smoldering cigarette.

Like he’s done,

a thousand times before.

Reviews

[GTVile]

Very good. Elusive meaning in the beginning which tantalizes the reader's senses, making the reader want to continue reading. Beautifully and directly written, a difficult combination of things to entwine, particularly with an abstract meaning. I really liked it.
