out of the left of their mouths
Exchange niceties, drink questionable tea
out of the right side
If you’ve never given your whole heart
meant what you’ve said
point to the tea, “Swill!”
how deep is the well of duplicity
how far the fall
We peer down into the well
do we see a reflection of ourselves
if not too deep
does murky count?
Common, we make a splash
climb out again
wash the dank smell off and shrug
The water is below the final rung
What was in that tea?
Throw me a penny
