His mothers favorite.


The vocabulary of treachery
   is unknown to the speaker.
The alphabet from A to Z,
   meanings that destroy me.
The shortcomings of intent
   in the poetry of ideas.
Iniquity in my lungs
               and on my tung.
Laughter is the enemy
                 of the law.
All the while afraid of consent,
   his mothers favorite.
