A Man of the Gutter

He is one of those people
Who can't speak
Without every third
Or fourth word
Sounding like
A disgruntled whore
Talking shop.
He is a student
Of the gutter,
Proud of the way
He peppers his speech
With vulgarities.
He consciously abuses
The language,
As well as my ears,
With his profanity.
He seems to be broadcasting
His ignorance
And utter contempt
For social mores.
In the gritty underworld
Of city life,
His kind roam the streets
In force,
Thumbing their nose
At propriety,
Speaking in a dialect
All their own.
