One poem by Shaun Leonard



Vinegar

she spenns time trine-a
fine-a apple ih me
n seedn ih n all
n alla time i be catchin flies
n cider by the roadside her
eyes waterin n she always makin fer the plans to grow
n why’m i nah? n i only lover n i
only vinegar
buh dohn blamey fer dah
she wooden, so wooden
she nah? so she nah
so why shud we?
