Masterpiece (scraps)

[Brownlie]

Found amid the remnants of a late-night study session. Thought I'd share this weird nine-liner. Criticism always appreciated, although this (quite obviously) isn't serious at all, just a by-product of procrastination.

masterpiece

we were having
a beautiful conversation
and then you used the phrase:
"that sucks monkey balls"
and ruined my poem
damn you, i said
to the half-moon clippings
as i trimmed my nails at 2 am
this will never be a masterpiece now

Well, Milton refers to cannon balls that cause "Missive Ruin" so that's sort of similar to Monkey Balls.
