Cool Girl Revisited


 You are so fucken cool -

Bangs ,

I’m a sucker for bangs.

And the Beanie-

Perfect hair.

Patty Hearst…


You are 

A dream I had 

When I was 15.


The coolest fucken girl-

Here I go…


She sang the cool 

Song-

“Alll I ever wanted,

all I ever needed…”

Be cool!

Cool…


It’s -

“It is all I ever wanted…’

Buy. The Time

 I felt angry at the world- 


I felt angry at something 

Without a name.

My father was 

an angry man.

Raised an angry boy.

Who grew up to be an angry man.


My father would just buy 

me things after the beatings,.


my love, my time-

Transactional

Bribed

Capitalistic 


Bought and paid for-

My favorite toy was the Millennium Falcon.


Buy the time:

Like Escorts, 

Like pay phone long distance calls,

Like Time Shares.


Capitalism moves in mysterious ways, 

Capitalism is barely getting by on Social Security, 

Capitalism is as capitalism does.


“Bye bye love 

Bye bye tenderness 

Hello loneliness-“

 

Buy the time: 

Like a peep show 

Like a parking spot downtown,

Like a vibrating bed in a motel.


I was angry at the world.

There was nothing I wanted to buy-

Nothing to own or rent.


"Can't buy me love"-

(There is a song)


Love.

The only real thing.

I just wanted my mother not to hate me.

She raised me, to hate me.


The note I wrote said.

 

The note I left read,

"By the time you read this…"


But-

I stayed for my best friend. 

I stayed for my father, 

Who I forgave

years ago.


Who every night 

I clean,

wipe their ass,

and 

throw out their piss.


I tell my father stories 

of the book 

I'm writing.

I tell him absurd jokes,


I watch Star Wars with him.

I do funny voices. 

I play the bass for him badly.


I stayed.

I remain 

I endure-


By the time you read this, 

I will 

be alive,

kicking and screaming. 


Alive!

By the way,

I am still angry at the world.


But-

I realized this is only borrowed time.

We steal what we can, like thieves, 

to survive.


we are beggars, when it comes to love.


But what little I have is yours.

It is the golden rule-  [gilded]


Forgiveness 

Empathy 

Compassion 


I give freely-


The golden rule won't cover the rent,

but lets hope

it'll

 at least pay some dues. 






Honest Lady

So I was in line, at the Starbucks,

Or something.


When I came across an honest lady

waiting in line.

 

She either started small talk  or I did 

I wasn’t paying attention- 

Blah blah blah


Whoa Nelly!

I hate to disappoint you lady but…

.look 

At me.


Why would I …But hold the horses.


Why the long 

Face?


What -

What,

she said-

That was the kicker.

Blah blah blah


She said “I’m good at faking interest in people…blah 

I don’t like being around others… bla 

It’s part of my job… bla 


She shares how it is ironic, 

that she’s around  

them all the time…

Blah


Her face is long.

Bony.

Brown hair,

Sandals on her feet

like 

She stepped off a Greek urn-

(An urn that’s seen some shit..)

Blah blah blah 


She started to talk about her brother, 

about how his being the opposite. 


I mention Attachment Theory


I suggest …

I imply

Encourage

She look into it… 


A lot of people like her

don’t stand a chance until…

Blah blah 


It makes her angry.

Its Like I called her dumb- 

I Giddy Up.

I get out of this conversation and ride off into

the sunset. 


I see her sometimes talking to randoms.

I think it’s part of her job.


I thought she worked with marine animals,

Or just animals in general.

To her 

maybe... 

What’s the difference?


I dunno I wasn't really listening. 

 

Don’t meet many honest people, 


Most just are horrible people 

telling it like it is! 

No filter-

Crass -

Common-

Tactless 

and blunt 

as a shoes heel.


Bla Bla Bla

who gives a fuck about attachment theory... 


Well

She  might see 

she lying to herself, 

the way 

I lie to myself -


We need others. If we have any chance of making it on this rock, 

we need others. 

Bla Bla Bla...


Maybe- 

I wasn’t paying attention

I Was listening To Slick Rick


She loves me,

she loves me not…

I don't give a fuck!

Shoot your shot.


Never met you 

Or maybe I did 

Who can tell-  Oh well...


Fuck it,  shoot your 

Shot. Sisters! 

I'm open to the idea of 

speaking in tongues- 

Doing tongue twisters and

making butter batter bitter

better butter makes the batter better.


I dunno I was just listening to

Slick Rick or MC Ricky D-

Or as you may have heard of him as...

Rick Da Ruler!


And with a Tick Tock and you 

don't Stop...


"I cant be your lover!"

Untitled n’ stuff


She is 

Mercurial.


Her whim moves with an alacrity.

It is 

Nebulous 

Like the air

In cotton candy-


It’s barely a whisper

Of an

Anything-


An Apparition, out 

Of thin air.


Thin

Thick


Heir 

To

The first chill of the winter.


Nebulous-

If you know what I mean?


Do you know what I 

mean?

Enough


There is enough art in me to 

fill

a thousand suns.


I never fear 

losing it

for 

It 

is 

I.


My art will live on.

I have no-

Doubt,

Regret,

Children-


My art will live on-

I never had any children of my own.


There were so many women 

who thought that was a bad a idea.


And the one

Crazy enough-

Enough, 

just not enough. 


Teasing-

“Hot enough for you?”


Enough is enough.


There is a mountain high enough,

There is a valley low enough.


I have enough wisdom to 

light up

the moon-


It’s enough for 

Me,

even if I was 

never 

enough for you.


Fair enough?

Alone, leave, enough, well.


Leave well enough alone…

Enough?

Well?



Viking Goth

I guess the best way to describe him

Is like uh, Viking Goth?

I dunno. 


The dude is super tall dressed in black and 

Eyeliner I think…


I dunno it’s like going to a zoo-

And seeing something new

Beard  creepy eye contacts ect 

With eye liner-


He’s trying too hard

I try too, but holy

Fuck!

I’ve never seen one in the wild.


Then again-

at this dive, there is a dude…

Who dresses up in a rainbow body suit 

(Mask the whole bit)

to 

Sing karaoke-


So, I  guess 

Silver medal Viking goth…


You can’t win them all.
