i've a friend a respectable women
a good wife and mother
who lives in a bastion of knowledge and wealth
she is kind
of heart and deed
sometimes she comes to see me
AND WE LIVE
LIKE ROCK STARS
there is no limit to our decadence
we eat the richest deserts first then
dinner with heavy sauces of dairy and drippings
DRINKING WINE
from the bottle without wiping it's near
escape
down our chins
WE SCREW
with reckless abandon
committing unnatural acts in elevators of hotels
where we are not even guests
we drive to delta riverboats at three a.m.
and play blackjack and craps
I SHAKE DICE and
SHE BLOWS
on them making points the hard way
AND WE DANCE
early or late in clubs with pulsing music to loud to stand
still
AND WE DANCE ALONE
skin touching skin with no music at all
save what is in our hearts
and then after THE FINAL CURTAIN
we are ourselves again
the homemaker and the hobo
until the next time that
WE ARE ROCK STARS

About Me
- stickbooth
- 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?
And to think I get excited about a nice plate of chips and vinegar.
