its not even a word
but you get my gist
yes, its always the same complaints
or plaintiffs
women, liquor, dope
and all the crossover episodes
I can endure

surely, you must say
there are other things
and I am sure
that there are
but none that interest me
none that grow in harmony
with the cactus
and four leaf clovers
this one is for
the crickets
and the pagodas
that keep me dry
in the summer hours of the spring
this is for the critics
I have yet to gather
to bully my offspring
preferring their daggers
to your gems and jewels

Smile.

I'd offer you a dagger, but folks around here get pretty nervous when I play with knives. (I have a deadly aim too--but only when I'm pissed.)

I'm STILL enjoying your work tho, . I hope ya don't find that too annoying.


(and don't be so discouraged...there's not a whole lot of rainbows and cotton candied clouds in MY life either--so sometimes I just get wasted and pretend. )

You keep writing, I'll keep reading.

I LIKE the edgier stuff.

I shouldnt bitch too much, If I ever submitted my stuff to the proper rejectorials Id had have some focus for my agression...until then its the vodka and the frontal assault on the thigh of ex-wives who still come by bearing war emblems and wine troths....
