The Sour Sense Of You
by Larry Jones
hell yes, I'm happy to be retired,
I no longer have to look
into your hypocritical eyes,
no longer have to smell
your bullshit attitude,
no longer have to listen
to your hateful heart,
no longer have to be touched
by your fear,
even though
I will always have the sour taste
of your essence,
in my brain.
