Of Dagoes and Bad Times

by Johnny McVies - Not entered

Ba-bum,kaching
The streets and dagoes I knew well
But now I'm fallen and you
spritz me with curlicue silences
and regal me with stories I don't care about.
I am a bouncing check to you
until i steal a line and make a joke
then all is forgiven.
To me you are ipecac,
fool's gold, poison sumac.
An 80 year old pussy,
rotting in the grave.
A sea craeture, millions of years old
and living in a vacuum.
And end to everything: the end of time,
the end of hope.
"No more misery!" I say,
but a unique situation as always
calls for endless lies to myself.
When are you gone? When I crash my car & die
& you come to the funeral in your black velvet dress
baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reason for writing:

    A girl at Fredonia (NY) State. And all the other crap, of course.
