If there’s one thing here today
I can offer up to you
it’s there’s nothing that you are unable to do
if you lie. This is true!
It’s my mantra of honest advice
that’s been due since I chose to talk through
a lifetime’s conventions – and your several intentions –
just back a moment or two.

The world is simply your oyster for shucking
if you fail to give but a single butt-fucking
instant of instance of virtuous heed
to the millions of others’ irrelevant needs.

Just tell all the tales that are yours to invent
and prevent any legends too ludicrous to lament
and go on and libelize to your heart’s content
for any untruth is some oxygen well-spent!

If I’ve left you a thought to consider
as I hope I’ve authentically done,
it’s that honesty is one dish to deliver
after everyone has gone.
You can serve it snarky or spicy
or with fine spirited alcohol
but if you ask me, factuality
is most well served, not at all.
