rose is

when you need advice roses are rede
whatever your question roses are redditive
for any transgression roses are redemptive
no matter the grievance roses are redressors.
they thought roses were reducent but roses are redient
roses are redoubled because roses are redoubtable.

oh, roses are redhanded
roses are redacted (roses are redolent)

from now on roses are redubbed
roses are redwood to consider roses' redition
roses are redundant because roses are redargued
- roses are reductio ad absurdum

(an earlier draft i accidently deleted may have been better, sorry)

lies stick

lies stick
to your truth
like cold porridge

a day later
     faster than a desperate grasp
a week later
     it has become an integral part
a month later
     hidden below layers of growth

do your washing up
early
