I slip down a slope of sex. I don't desist drug use. I roll right past the road for righteousness. I slide past a stop sign and stay in sin. All I am is alliteration and any affectations to asking assistance are axed.
Or at least that's the way I write my poems.

ReplyDeleteThat's why. And whatever. I used capital letters and I didn't even write it as a poem.
He did write poems about God but people don't know him as a Godly man, so whatever, I guess.
I get why now. I sort of wish I hadn't asked. The "love-crumbs" was interesting, though.
