Dragon Kite Mouth

Someday, your mouth will get you into trouble, he said

Oh, Dad, if you only knew the wonderful, awful trouble its led me to.

To people who touched the sky

And to the border walls of hell

Out of my mouth and into the air

Sure and true

For me

In the moment

In truth-

That is all we have:

Sure

And true

In the moment
