honest cheat
So, I can't take you home
But we can walk someway
Like water and dirt-
But when I have sat long and thought,
Friend,
I'll come clean and leave you
silting on the rocks;
I'll remember my better English and
court manners
My own good fortune
A better future with an upmarket man
-
An honest cheat and a loud-mouthed
backstabber
Unimpassioned rider on any wind
blowing anywhere
Whose throat doesn’t choke with
empathy
Whose fist doesn’t unclench for
charity
A man bred more like me.
