Quiet like restful discretion
Quiet like restful discretion
m’lady full of weak trivia
and the loose purse strings plead promises
with dawdling words and greasy chips
scullery maids rot on Cyprus
peeled potatoes and blood stained sheets
the amber green lighting hovers breathless
against “I’m sure”s and “It ain’t ‘alf swank”
they settle on hussy tips and fancy falls
chat business buzz, gulled mates, and known saints
what’s more the venician washer donna
scrubbing rudeness from dear impatience
stiff formalities playing roman order
flowing with careful wine and thankful sneakers
rotten tempers are recognized by sight
and the spilt vinegar hollow out an old womb
but the detest of a stingy maid is devoted to earn a living
now then, to our health
mending husbands and tearing the crotch holes
and all of us bleed’n laughter at the expense
of pigs asking about size
the daft wine is of no matter
and falsely slashed throats provide
no goat cheese by their word of honor
death’s laughter is hushed by Adam and Eve’s beatings.
