Well F This

they say people who swear

are more verbally affluent

and intelligent

than those who don’t

they are more honest

and express their feelings

without hesitation

more open and powerful

their words legitimate

well no sh*t

anger is contagious

making others uncomfortable

a kind of sinister approach

to pleasant conversation

but sometimes when

I drop a wine glass

or get a rejection

I let everyone know

swearing is a certain kind

of letting go
