live

and learn.
how trite
but rife
with truth
so telling and my brain
swells with
too much
facts and figures
subjective pictures
does anyone expect
me to stand by
and smile
and accept
and embrace
and be down
with the swill
that gets spewed
while i
negotiate my own
minefield
my open field
to dodge
and burn
i shopped it
around the semantics
dare i say
a night's antics
and i'll swallow
it all
in a grilled cheese
sandwich.
with fries.
