Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

It's gonna be alright, Baby.
I'll be a twister at the side
show bar--slim boots skimming
the mini go-go.

I'll tattoo my number on the inside
thigh. A shimmy, a shake, and the shoo
shoo. New arrivals can look it up
shoving money on the boot ties.

Darlin', don't you worry
I could pop an appli-vacation
in over at the corner dine.
Scoop up the gossip between
hot dogs and dying
local Jimmy-Joes.

Write it in an on-line blog,
a column, if business slows
around my shirt front
on the curve of Maple
and Ivory.

I feel fine, though you left.
Bagged up your pot to sell
on the whim,
passing it through the window
to a junked up doe-
eyed doll.

We parted lips,
pressed to trick the 5-0 into seeing
a rendezvous.

The dog's a bit restless
at the door.
I guess he knows.
I bought him a new spiked collar,
looks real good too,
but he whines.

If the phone rings, I refuse to answer,
won't get caught up in conversation
'bout how it happened.
No use in anybody nosing.
I asked for this, you know.

Sorry, I didn't treat you right,
Hell, I know it’s selfish.

Oh! maybe I'll try out
ballroom dancing, or an actress
over at the boulevard theater.
Practice my P’s and Q’s,
flirted curtsy, a little patty peek-
show and then a wide smile.

I’ll be by on Saturday
for the $450. Take care.

Sincerely,

Allison


*another non new piece. I've been to tired to burst a new one out.

I really love this! Very unique and cool...!

Thanks Doreen. I did get the job too.

Oh great! That's good!

I like this because it's a story and you have to read between the lined to try to figure out exactly what was going on. I read a relationship break up... and a strong woman making the right decision to move on. I also read that it wasn't easy.

I particularly liked this bit

Bagged up your pot to sell

eyed doll.

Love the phrasing.

I know, the pot was in the keyboards, under them, it was a nasty clean up. The doe never asked what the fuzz was. I bought a pair of pretty shoes to interview with. I don't know, was just fun.

nice to meet you SadLuckDame!! (aunque you sound very familiar...!!) enjoying how your writing is flowing!!

Or maybe i'll just write a fantastic poem.....
Yeah. I dig it sister.

Luv yur style!

You have the lingo and the narrative just right. This sounds so authentic. And the breakup storyline is just perfect. I enjoyed this one as much as Bukowski. Splendid.

John

Sorry I'm late for the date. Really glad you liked this. Nice to meet you too sweet Arcadia. Thanks much John, oh Bukowski--he had done it right, thanks Perdida, Dear Hester, too

Sorry, I didn't treat you right,
Hell, I know it’s selfish.

nice melt of personality
