Poem
A BUM LIFE my life has always been filled with misfortune twists and turns always walking down the wrong road with trouble at my side seeking the easy way out not willing to work very hard every choice I made turned out to be bad luck my jeans are dirty dusty and torn with the holes that I have worn my boots are scuffed looking rough The soles are thin with a hole that lets the water in thumbed a ride to Alabam haven’t slept for a day or two ran out of drugs the other day they stopped my pain now I’m going insane stumbled into this bar on the edge of town to get out of the rain to get a drink or two to ease my pain as I take a seat on this tattered old bar stool I look into the mirror and wonder who is this old fool sitting on this bar stool with the long gray hair and a shaggy beard looking back at me a shot of Jack is placed on the bar the only friend who understands damn what a life I’ve had very little love or joy that makes me sad as I sit here thinking an wondering what’s up a head in my life for me I first have to except the choices I’ve made before I can change maybe tomorrow I’ll do that my life to rearrange Dennis Davis November 3, 2017
