jus’ askin’

do
you do
stoopit stuff?

sometimes,
i mean?

’cause i know
i sure do

oh,
you do?
oh.

well
that’s good then

i mean
not good but
you know
what i mean?

it’s like…

neither one of us
is truly alone, we
both do stoopit stuff

every
once
in a while

in fact

ever known anyone
never did anything
stoopit at all
ever?

thought not

me neither.

then do you think
maybe together we can

forgive that guy over there?…
