Billy the Kidney

As small beer gesture
Please accept this sparrow box
A token of depreciation—
pink handwoven creole tissues
ah, you shouldn’t have
eitherway no matter what…

Go love life the best you can
&c. and the rest
Blow hard when tears
come falling.

Rhesus negates
such lofty whoppers.

Never ever try to make
a monkey out of me again, Scartender.

just take these hollow trinkets:
jade ephemera in the main,
you must have heard it said:
big minds never measure
jewels plucked from one gifted horse
