Analysis of Soft Expletive
I stub my toe,
The welling up
of pain pops in
and says, "Hello."
I stub my toe,
Again, the same
The pain gnaws through
and smiles, "You know..."
I stub my toe,
"What do you want?!"
The pain recoils
"I don't like fudge."
I stub my toe,
I rub it clean
of blood, it seems
"Fuck you!" it means.
