the brilliant 

                  steam of slander

     echoed 

  in the trees

     smoking 

   outside and watching 

    a casual friendship 

descent 

    with boats and 

     money issues 

        can you read the text?

      some liked 

  some not 

   so be it 

    or not 

      chase the wooden dream 

    the arc of the 

       eyebrow 

   oh really?
    gather up the 

   empty glasses 

         and say 

      good job
