I'm sure you have seen her staggering out of one tavern or another in town hanging on the arm of chronic criminals at one time or another splashing beer from go-cup screeching with laughter reminiscing of tires peeling out of a parking lot heads turn to stare at the spectacle if you paint a canvass and call it history she will be front and center lipstick-smeared plastic smile backed into a darkened alley by some old groper who mentally knows what he wants even though the flesh is weak I have had her or maybe it was her sister her smell stayed with me for days every so often I lift my hands to my face as I stroll through WalMart breathe in the bouquet of her sometimes we don’t see her for months rumor has it she is in Paris learning how better to do it some say she is in New Orleans showing the Cajuns how to do it better her ramblin' ends phones start to ringing party-time again in the city she loves to shock yes, my phone rang yes, I will answer her passion how can I refuse those lips that has snaked a tongue into my mouth and made me feel ten feet tall ©June 4, 2009 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

Good stuff JP I like the reality of this, even though some might think she doesn't exist. She is in every town, big or small, and you have shown her effect on you, brought her out into the daylight in a poem.. ...as I said, good stuff. |

Oh, she exists, Ice, as we both know. I still think it might have been her sister that I . . . never mind. Thank you for being here, man. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |
