Treat

How did they treat you?
His voice was barely compre-
hensible today.

For Lilith walked in
They hardly ever saw her
With Hope in Flagstaff

The Whip was reserve-d
For those who deserved such things
She and hers did not.

"Treat" She said plainly,
Was both "Trick and Free Candy."
We spoke all the same

"Bring me my finest."
The Prime Vintage overflowed.
The grapes pre-tested.

"Now, a millstone, sure."
"But how do we say 'It's done.'
Without rubbing off?"

"What of their own tools?"
"Oh, those were easy to find:
'Crab Log Fish Frog, Twice.'"

"Crab Log Fish Frog, Twice...
That's a hard tattoo or scar."
"'We could do it twice...'"
