I never swore again after mother
cleansed my mouth with soap, and stones
I threw were the last for I saw that glass
can blind. The cane across my legs taught me
lessons about pronunciation, and now
saintly priests compliment my oral skill.
At interviews I'm a class act and with
royal accent and smile I say 'accidents
happen despite the very best education.'
The judge nods, those jurors need a wash,
behind my bars wardens give me a slap
so hard I know their soap has razors too.
The hiss of rope about my neck coils tight
in snake-like punctuation. I say 'accidents
happen despite the very best education.' |
