how to regret a sentence

by Marty Shambles

start with words and letters,

nouns and verbs spelling

out offense. O-F-F-E-N…

you see the reactions of

your audience—faces washed

with disgust—-and you know

you’ve stepped in it… so

what now? nights up pacing

through your tiny apartment

keeping up your downstairs

neighbors. you know because

they bang on the ceiling like

a beastie boys video and

you think it’s something to

do with your pipes until it’s

too late and all the good will

crumbles like dry wall.
