Condolences to You.

your swollen tongue
thickly and evenly  
coated with a flocculent mass
of coagulated saliva
lapped against
the dry roof of your mouth
like a dogs tongue  
working and seeking
between the legs
of a dead prostitute
prone and ignominious
in a filthy alley way
and sluiced through with raw sewage
your tongue operating
in rhythmic and sensitive appreciation
as you drank in my words thirstily
yes you paid attention to me
yes
I know
I commend you for that
now Listen
I know that you want to be like me
I know that you desire to emulate me
I know that you want to have  
your own recognizable voice
you own immediately identifiable  
and unique persona
like me
but you cannot  
you cannot
transcend possibility
that is just not how things are
and that is just not
how things stand
in this world
Here and now
I offer you my condolences.
