i am just as likely to petition for “subtlety,
that delicate and forgotten art” as i am to beg
for the blunt end of a biting,
hastily thrown together string of expletives
your lips were both, though your intentions were neither
so i stopped looking through your
eyes, and looked into them instead
and i believe i'd rather have my soft focus fairytale
