Nothing Rhymes With New Orleans
I'M NOT READY TO LOSE
NOT READY FOR THE STREET
JUST NOT READY FOR SLEEPING IN A BACK ROOM
WHERE THE ONLY INTIMACY IS A NEARBY DOOR BEING POUNDED
AT 2AM
SPREADING MY LEGS I ALLOWED WARM HOTEL SHEETS
TO COLLAPSE OVER MY NAKED BODY AS AN UNDERSTANDING NYMPH...
WHO FORGIVES
WHO LOVES
FIGHTING YOUR WARS THAT BEGGED A NOBLE FAILURE
SHE KNOWS ME KNOW
SHE KNOWS TOMORROW
BUT SHE WILL NEVER KNOW
THAT A FLY CAN LAST FOREVER IN
A MEXICAN RESTAURANT.
