drugged broken blokes basting
spices in stalls
wearing beat shades
and laced teal dresses

rioters suing ferry captains
who trap and serve mucky crabs
while wafting on soggy rugs rigged
to vent briers while tonguing donuts

stints in the jean trade
or oat lined tents deem totality
an exorcism of realitys mentality
until morality succumbs to fatality

in the corner cleaning cables for gain
its implied that pliers ply
that prissy bliss dims the orb
damn fools damn fools
