STANDARD<\/strong>
\nThe wavering sky, erected on the summit of the
\nSwimming pool water
\nGlitters in her eyes.
\nA male swimmer, with smooth bumps running through
\nBoth sides of his stomach, like a corrugated<\/p>\n

Slate. The showboating swimmer,
\nShows various styles of his
\nTalent. She pays notes of attention,
\nNot appreciation.<\/p>\n

He does more, to coerce her to
\nPay in, appreciation.
\nI, A crummy swimmer, but if words
\nWere water, I would probably have
\nWon more<\/p>\n

Medals than any. She thinks
\nI’m a lairy hairy lad, but
\nShe pays bills of smiles to my
\nArrogance, and<\/p>\n

Pays bills of kisses to my lips.
\nWe can’t sleep at night, and will not
\nLet the night sleep.<\/p>\n

She reads an anthology of heartbreaks to my
\nEars, and begs me. Yes she begs me
\nNot to be crass to her feelings. Yes
\nShe begs me not to be crass to her<\/p>\n

Hole, when I’m on top of her on the
\nCushion, and
\nShe begs me not to be crass to her swinging
\nTears, when I walk out on her, when
\nI walk out on my words.<\/p>\n

No one spends a cash gift with prudence,
\nShe’s a gift, a free gift. Why should
\nI deal with her
\nWisely?
\nNot up to a year I do
\nMy worst, my best,<\/p>\n

My friend’s leitmotif,
\n“Not everything that is full of scuffs,
\nIs full of curses”
\nManifests,<\/p>\n

I’ve found 3 girls, yet I haven’t found
\nA girl, if I were to
\nUse her as a standard.<\/p>\n
