A life full of compromise
She’d grown quite accustomed
to fulfilling all the filthy needs
of men with buttoned bellies.
- Start at the bottom
but unlike the others
she’ll go somewhere
it’ll all be worth it
just a couple more months
weeks
years
and it’ll all have been worth it
“all have been worth it”
she mumbles, the core of her dissent
expressed in whispers
over steaming coffees but one day
her mumbles will be echoed
and so, she mumbles
“all have been worth it”

Through the sill lined with chlorophyll
A man bums (burns?) a cigarette
at the tropical cafe sketching.
a lifetime of regrets, happy-ness, & consequence
The small red ember not extinguished
even once the butt is smashed and left
A life of wisdom expressed in eyelights
and well kept facial hair.
What are his regrets?
What compromises and contradictions
must he have endured?
Only those eyes know and only that
beard knows, but if the rest could
read that beard and scan that disc
they’d know much more, accept much more,
and who knows maybe take care of the poor.

New Team Supreme with FuzZ and friends. These cats are all playing tomorrow night at La Cita in downtown LA. Should be a rad time.
