Not the Best but at Least It's Over

I literally just rolled off a gal. I'm sitting here naked in my chair smoking a cigarette, cracked a beer and it 4:10 in the morning. Life is good to you when you are patient. It is also good to you when you're aggressive, occasionally. I suppose convicted rapists s s s ssss would either agree or disagree. No matter. I don't really care and neither do you. I sit puffing this cigarette, ashing here and there, and doing my best to keep the letters of the keyboard sticking to my own fingers. Here's a few that I found and read aloud tonight for an audience of one, unless you include myself.

Tomorrow Always Comes

Tomorrow
there is betting on football
Tomorrow
there is betting on eating
no matter what it might be
Tomorrow
there is drinking something
no matter what it might be
probably beer
could be rum, whiskey
could be wine, schnapps
could be drinking

Tomorrow
there is betting on love
could be anal, oral

Tomorrow
there could be something
surprise, or just this

Tomorrow
always comes
whether
we are there
or not



Crooked Paper

I have had many
people tell me
in less than fine terms
I ADMIRE YOUR LIFESTYLE

I have never once told
them that I admired theirs

But what they admire is this
the lonely and the drunk
like saying
build your own
sandcastle
and watch it wash
its own laundry

What makes me the king?
Being a better peasant
than you



Oh Baby, Come On

The gal said while laying
in bed
She's in heat baby

What do you mean?

She said you know
she's mewing everywhere
and rubbing her head
on everything

So what?
that's what they do

No honey, she's in heat

So we shut the door and finished
wiped off, rinsed off
showered
and opened the door
again

We were laying back in bed
and I told her
I heard you can get a cotton stick
in there and they'll stop

You're sick

No, I heard that
well, it doesn't have to be
a cotton stick

You mean a Q-Tip?

Yeah, one of those
cotton sticks

Goddam, you're sick
she said

Don't worry
baby
I'm a responsible
pet owner
