behind the bourbon




what has happened
to the ass in blue jeans
pinned in
cut & trim
for the young and beautiful


where the hell has the ringer gone
song sniplets
mocking ma bell
with bullshit text


and then there's the pill for dipsticks
that circle jerk for four long hours
i won't call my doctor
i'll call dad

this
he would be proud of


male or female
the question of the day
collagen injected
silicon infected
with their obligatory flowers
in violet eyes


i have to mention
the spot on my ceiling
that seems to age
without licking itself


gracefully it grows
without rejection
in a world
of wrong number songs
and forever hard ons

tucked away
        in tight blue jeans



    somewhere



in the silicon valley of dreams
a man loads his 7 day pill box
with little blue wonders
for tuesday & saturday


in hopes of finding
that sagging beauty
behind a bourbon
wearing
        levi's & high heels

    i have to mention
    the spot on my ceiling
    that seems to age
    without licking itself While reading this verse- I kept seeing Hollywood- and also refence to Pittsburgh for some reason and under the turnpike- an overpass- trash can furnice-fireplace- heck a place to keep warm- a hangout similar to the bar across 32nd street- (for regulars)This is raw and grabs hard~Wow~
    Love the direction You took this prompt Hopefully my words make some sense Powerful verse and message You have brought forth

    These words grabbed and pulled-
    male or female
    the question of the day
    collagen injected
    silicon infected
    with their obligatory flowers
    in violet eyes

    Ohmy.
    How tight?
    The laying-on-the-bed-and-pulling-the-zipper-up-with-a-hanger tight?
    I used to tend bar, so I get this.
    Makes me think of Closing Time.
    In fact, Im singing it in my head now, thanks for that.

    The spot on your ceiling, my favorite part.
    How come I've never read you before?

    I still wear my tight Levis lol
    nothing feels better than that

    Once again I was happy to see something by you, I was enthralled and now sad to leave...

    I never forget why you are one of my very favorite poets...
