soaking envelopes
tiny ephemeral art

Psalm 144:1
Tis true; I am an asshole of the kind
who uses short cuts as a means to live
another day for surely peace of mind
is mine to take and never yours to give?
Your choice was to attack me on the street
for some imagined ill I could inflict;
my 'otherness' sparks sound bites on repeat
a 'threat to decent folk' as you predict.
That sucker punch you aimed upon my head
was felt before you even raised a fist
deflected to the side and caught instead
and twisted just enough to break the wrist.
For I teach the use of basic self defence
to those who fear morality's descent.
