You can't see it, but people do
have crooked eyes. For centuries
there is a test running

to prove it: laws
don't last, the nectar smells
irresistibly over the wall

of counters and the capital
punishment for building big boats
The sweet scent of happiness entices

A little of is already enough
to make someone function -
so why would I be so generous

as to give more than the minimum?
The police are my best friend
I'm willing to pay for that
