Swear on Your Life
How do you feel about swearing in books? Do you swear in your writing?

you smash your thumb with a hammer

and words spew

what words

come from those you've heard

surrounded by raised up with

ones your pa said when his thumb was smashed

like Ralphie when hubcap nuts fly

there are times situations moments

when self-censoring isn't possible

sure there are better ways to express anything

synonyms poecilonyms adequations comparables

acceptable even in synagogues mosques temples

more eloquent descriptive accurate precise fitting

but sometimes fuck

just says it all

most succinctly
