Slopjar Poem
August 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Piss out the piss, shit out the shit, simmer it, in a slopjar. Release all frustrations, lay them to rest, simmer it, in a slopjar. Simmer the lunatic thoughts, the loneliness, the laughter, the lust, the love, the feelings of hurt and pain. Simmer it in a slopjar, then throw it in the woods.
