bugger this.

Bugger this
buffed and buffered
by slips
of mother tongues
and another's entirely
hips some twist
of thought on the way
to word. It could have to be ego
if only the only possible
motive
weren't so absurd. Any way
how ever and which, it supposes
itself, these days
: can't miss. I apologize, but
I am always

wrong.

It passes hypocrisy now
to sing
that song.

Except
well, I'll guess

it's true.
Suppose it is?

That would have
to do.
