How fast I changed
when I heard my first cuss word,
and knew what it was.
I rolled it from cheek to cheek
like hard candy, savoring
the juice as it slid
sweetly down my throat.
There was never a thought not to use it,
only contemplation of how and when.
Then, as if, a hangmen holding a noose,
I placed it around the neck of innocence,
and without hesitation
executed the sentence I was born to bear.

The image of hard candy is very effective... the word play, too.

WOW!!!! The last four lines are miraculous! I hung my head and cried for us all. Such a fatal moment of loss!!!!
I felt a shiver running through me when reading this one, and the one before - the red barons. Some say, and I believe it - having my own experience in this matter, that such shiver is, or can be, a sign of the ecstatic state of one's soul triggered by reading a powerful poem. You made me feel ecstatic, Pat. Thank you!:))
