So tell me, do you squat or sit on porcelain throne?Do you humbly release, or strain to command: “done”? Don’t gesticulate with such simian confusion:This is a straightforward and ordinary question! Darvish can’t remember such a dull-witted lot.Sometimes, even the bright and quick can’t be taught. Get full access to Radicalized Poet at billgannett.substack.com/subscribe
