Curse of the Polka Dot Dress

A short polka dot dress
doesn't belong here.
Amidst the predators
headless beer
dream benders 
vulva vampires
cheap shot dead enders
so willing to blow hellfire
into innocent embers.

A dash of blackout.
Sprinkled into your naïve drink.
Sticky dreams dying
in a puddle of sunrise piss.
Daddy always warned you about the curse
of a short polka dot dress.
