| jesus christ
|
unknown
| why do you | 1 |
always take | 2 |
the lords name | 3 |
in vain? | 4 |
asks my coworker | 5 |
mark. | 6 |
| |
i'd just said something | 7 |
to another coworker | 8 |
about the lord blessing me | 9 |
with his golden cock | 10 |
by seeing fit | 11 |
to let me | 12 |
simultaneously date | 13 |
two women | 14 |
proficient at head. | 15 |
| |
i tell him: | 16 |
i'm a heartless bastard | 17 |
given to cynicism mark | 18 |
it's just my way. | 19 |
| |
well i wish you'd knock it off | 20 |
it's no different | 21 |
than me | 22 |
using the n word around ray, | 23 |
he says | 24 |
nodding to our | 25 |
black coworker. | 26 |
| |
my natural impulse | 27 |
is to verbally bitch-slap him | 28 |
for raping logic | 29 |
and ask why it is | 30 |
i should have to | 31 |
walk on egg-shells | 32 |
around intellectual stillbirths. | 33 |
| |
but his lips | 34 |
are white | 35 |
with anger. | 36 |
so out of pity | 37 |
i placate him | 38 |
with improvisational | 39 |
elevator music. | 40 |
| |
i've always said | 41 |
mark's a prime candidate | 42 |
to show up at work | 43 |
with a gun someday. | 44 |
| |
now i know | 45 |
| |
i'll be | 46 |
| |
his first shot. | 47 |

disagree with the sentiments, but it's written well

you should think about turning this into a short story. it sounds like it could be. but still works as a poem.
