it's a hard thing
to be no kind of apologist
to carry no water
to sell no goods,
broker no deals
compromise nothing
the world makes
borrowers and thieves
of us, the multitude
lenders
and claimers of need
mendicant scribes,
prostitute lovers
but lovers all
the same, most
of us
sincerity is
written in our
bones
and often stays
legible
no matter to
whom we have
sold the goods.
