SCENE/SEEN

By John Lashley

It’s all about eyes/I(s)

It’s about whores serenading the senses.

It’s poetry’s bitch

“look at me!”

 

It’s about lying/laying

 

 

 

well with words.

It’s about dicks finding their way into sentences.

It’s inconsistent.

It’s about denial and pride.

 

It’s about ‘Ego Trippin’’ for real/reel

 

“acting like a poet?”

 

It’s about bastard smiles and scented smells.

It’s fishy, funny, and about entertainment.

Entertain meant:

it’s on loan ‘till the next worst thing enters the clique/click

it ends like that.
