Duplicitous speech

Glibly spoken through your teeth

Your pearly white teeth

Heavenly temptress

Casting light on the shadows

And guiding werewolves

No phone call or card

Replaces a son’s presence

On his Mother’s Day

Speckles of raindrops

Pitter pat on the windshield

The wipers go on

“Beam of Sunshine”, no

“Ray of Sunburn-Inducing”

Sounds more accurate

What’s a “Thurs” even?

And why does it get a day?

Dude, I want a day

Are hungry for food

For success, for sex, for more

Hungry are humans
