Tap Out

Pouring one out, though not from
the sort of place you want it,
and not the sort of thing that
anyone (aside from Lestadt) would
want to be taking a big sip of,
so in a sense it is more draining
some out, and this is not the
preferred way to work.

Plugged and stuffed and hey,
breathing is not something you
need to be doing right now, though
actually the whole gasping with
lungs thing is quite unseemly, so
take it out and try to keep all
that red inside you and not on
the wooden desk, please.

Nasal passages laugh themselves
silly as they spray and chortle
covering fingers and tissue alike,
those red marks staining a sign
yet another thing about you that
just does not quite measure up
to the normalcy of another. You
are built different, accept it.
