Cowardice

I will still chew on my torn bottom lip
screw my eyes shut

and not dare to look
brace for the blow

two lumps or three? I heard you ask
and so I responded
but not the whole bowl

on my way home
I wandered by a sign full of hope
what are you up to
what are you left with

I can conceal a bump or bruise
possibly even a gaping wound
the scars are hidden
but not the cause

Buy some more Jamiroquai and then lend me a bunch of whatever's left over. We hear ear to ear.
