day ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY FIVE

SOFTER THAN PUSSY

I hate your ugly mug
I really do
that fake tough guy scowl
would fade instantly
if they dropped you off
without an armed detail
in one of the inner cities
you love to talk shit about

but the hands
the hands tell the story
even better

and I find it hard to believe
that any man who ever
swung a hammer
or laid bricks
or drove a truck
to earn his daily bread

would not change his mind
about you being a champion
of the working class
if he shook your hand

hands that probably
never held a wrench
a screwdriver
or even a plunger

I’ll bet those things
are softer than any pussy
you ever grabbed

and by the way—
you don’t “grab” pussy....
Idiot!
