... Facetious Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is a
1599 word
from the
latin facetiae

facetieux from
facetie jest

a joker a jester
waggish

it is meant
to be humorous or funny

and witty
like you Robert
like what i said before
like someone who is not
meant to be a faucet

where water goes out
by force
and then we want
stopped after
a certain use

after we outlive
its usefulness
we close it
and make it
silent

after a thirst
has been duly satiated.
