I don't know.

what if you just put it out there?
said what everyone is busy
pretending they're not thinking

hands so deep
fingernails packed
with pocket bottom

shucks-in' it up
feigning shyness, apprehension,
or politeness

instead of sitting side by side
with a smiling Bob Marley
are you kidding?

but, yeah, there are feelings to consider
moods might be flung from
passive moping to animal-like aggression

singing shards of glass
from the roofs
of collapsing buildings

negative is the shape
that weapons
often take

fallout borne by our fragile bodies
from mild bruising to
damage more lethal
