Engine Failure

Jealousy never ages well...
like a 70-year-old bow legged harlot.
Every year the mascara painted thicker
the strut less arrogant 
with every sticky minute
no more virgin revelations 
coming off clownish lips or pen...
A discarded dried-up turd...
to the bitter end.

Anger, the only remaining vice
of a burned-out free-falling life
So, sip your cold black coffee
From a cracked test tube
labeled "failed experiment".
