Askhole
Ask
me no questions
tell me no lies
of omission
of the father
the father for forgiveness
for a favor
for trouble
me again when I’m sober
me again in the morning
me after I’ve had coffee
away
a way out
for directions
kick the can down the road
the road to perdition
Ask for it

Thank you all. This was a warm-up exercise for the month ahead.
