Prizefights

Post by hester_prynne » July 1st, 2011, 11:45 pm

I'm stickin my prose in slowly.
Words are cold as ice.
Sharp chunks
are comin up from down below,
where I been sleepin it off
like a stabbed drunk.
All my prizefights
with heartless horsemen lost.
All that making lemonade,
out of what it is,
caught up with me.
I had to hate you
for awhile,
til I could love you
again.
"I am a victim of society, and, an entertainer"........DW

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

this is an awesome bukowski-esque pome.
I don't think 'Therefore, I am.' Therefore, I am.
