early trash talking years

we
were young and dumb,
our trash
talking
wasn't as clever
as we thought it was
when
posing on a street corner
with friends.
your momma
was a phrase
we often
used
when hitting bottom
with slurs
and
observations about
weight
or a pair of eyebrows
that
stretched comically
across a face.
we needed more words,
bigger
and smarter
words to make fun of someone.
we needed
a thesaurus.
college helped
with that.
