His words were torrid
searing and cauterizing ones ears
his eyes hid nothing
that his mouth regurgitated
his weakness was so evident
I could not even laugh
as I normally would
when accosted this way
but only sadly stare back
wondering what his kids would end up like
because these people always have kids
so someone has to look up and admire them
