I Awoke Naked (Vestis Virum Reddit)

I awoke naked into life

Crying

And when I sleep finally

I'll wear a cheap set of clothes

That my (crying) sister bought.


IN BETWEEN THOUGH BLACK SUITS,

CREASES LIKE A STRAIGHT RAZOR

and thrift store jeans

and prison whites


IN BETWEEN THOUGH STARCHED BLACK SHIRTS

CRISP COLLARS OPEN AT THE NECK

WATCHES HANGING LAZY AT MY WRIST

and hospital gowns

with my ass out

and black and white stripes

of county.

About Me

My photo
I struggle with addiction and am just recently out of prison- I dislike most people and am bitter and self destructive. Yet somehow I have a good time. My first wife wanted to be an FBI agent when I met her in college, and the last one was a prostitute,the former gave me three great kids that I named Dakota, Skye and Willow, the latter a hell of a hard time. In the past I have been a busboy, a waiter, and a bartender. I have worked in nearly all construction trades including carpentry, brick laying, electrical, weilding, and plumbing. Once I had a job where I climbed tree's for a living. I fought Mixed Martial Arts when they still called it No Holds Barred, I have sold cars and was an editorial cartoonist. I am a failed actor, to lazy to try very hard, and lived with outlaw bikers in Northern California. I served as a medic in the army,and studied creative writing as well as radio tv. I cook a mean breakfast and like to sit and think sometimes all day. Did I say think or drink?
