when they award me my trophy
someone else has to accept it
in their beautiful hands
for mine are stabbed and dry
these hands that make amazing pieces
only work with the ugly and hurtful
but how else should i be
when that is all the world has to offer
i will buy the wine
and drink it through a straw
