I Say Shit

I Say Shit

I know some people
     Who know some people,
Bet you know these people, too.

Say,
     Swearing shows a
          Miniscule vocabulary,
In that lecturing tone of voice.

Shit,
     Filth,
          Rubbish,
               Slime,
Foul fool who pains my vision!

 Fragment of diseased flesh,
     Pus-ridden cur
          With rancid breath,
A.k.a.
     You piece of shit.

Astronomical,
     Stunning in its form
          And physiology,
 Monument of life,
     Testament of human achievement!
Ala,
     This shit is bananas,

And let's not forget that solemn oath:
Away with all this triviality!
I am Man,
     As good as thou art,
          And I shall not be trod upon!
Vis-a-vis,
      Fuck this shit.

I say shit
     To get your attention,
To sum up
      All at once
           The torrents of thought
                 And exclamation
Bursting
     From my mind,
But my flourishing details,
      My
           rich vocabulary,
I save for those
     Who kindly ask,
"What's up?"
