Things You Can Fling

A diamond ring
(if you don't care much about money)
A twice-read joke book
(if you think you're already funny
enough)
A Barry Manilow CD
(just make sure no one sees you)
Mediocre bargain bin fiction
(everything false isn't necessarily
true)
Your high school verse
(angst shouldn't be
its own sub-genre in poetry)
Your ex-girlfriend's letters to you
(sink them somewhere deep in the
Sargasso Sea)
A ticking bomb
(be careful where you throw it)

And

All caution and reason
(but only for someone who's all that
and knows it)
