Deck of Cards
I ask myself
how long will this last.
At best we are nothing more than frothing
mouths on Horses.
starving dogs on balconies puking there last meal
over looking streets where people stand with there cameras.
all they gave me was a deck of cards .....
its all I had to cut off the leaches mating on my throat as they
picked and debated what part of my flesh was at its most flavorful.
wet towels are like old whores...
they both blend into and unmade bed waiting til they are dry and used
for another day.
