i have standards
don’t bleed on me
paltry mist-eyed
blather
i have standards
so don’t bother
me with your
ghastly sought
after chatter
flung too quick
at the page
a flick, a flack
a tickity tack
i have standards
to adhere to
today,
to
cement wisdom
into my brain
don’t waste
words on words
every damn day
to dress your space
bargained for pay
i have standards
that don’t lean
that way.
