spitting teeth

if he says too much

then you should shut him up

for i am a violent man

from town to town

you laugh out loud

share a drink and smile

december will bring harsh winds

and i

the battered face

beaten to a pulp they will not recognize you

can you still kiss with a fat lip

can you still hug her with a broken limb

pick the glass from your face

and spit out broken teeth
