Different Perspective (Day 460)

listen 
to a different 

      perspective

barking

   ghetto voices

swearing 

   git th’ fuck inside

      at their children

no leashes  

      this is how they talk

few restraints

      to their children

   I SAID th’ FUCK 

   in th’ HOUSE

lunging 

   on a whim

plunging 

   their fangs

into your wrist 

   or the skin

delicate as a finch 

   wrapped 

or a sweet pea

   around your throat
