he's got

Contributed by JohnYamrus on Monday, 3rd December 2007 @ 06:21:22 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



he’s got

dark
tenement windows
on ninth street,

peeled plaster
on the walls,

a bedroom,

a bath,

a refrigerator
with two
mouldy pears
sitting in a bowl on top…

a beat-up
Philco TV
that picks up channel 29
when the weather’s right.

and the glory
of his life
is
this cute
little Puerto Rican girl
he calls Jack Daniels

because
she goes down
real
real smooth.

I use to think 'bout Mr. Daniels in my youth but I always ended in turning up the bottle after the fisrt shot with coke or Mountain ? Any way that made me sick as hell the next day so I gave up that 'cause hang overs are hell.
Very good writting here.
Huggs, big smiles, happy holidays,
emy

Well here I am back where I started.
You are an incredible writer to capture my reading this long.
Not too many writers can mezmerize as yours does.
There have been some but few and far between.
big smiles,
emy

Interesting how a poem about having paints such a desolate picture.
Well done.
Take care,
David
