UNFINISHED NOVEL
UNFINISHED NOVEL
by Matthew Tripley
Once, an author I tried to be...
Dazed In The Life was my story.
Movies and music - central themes
Plotting characters and their schemes.
Surrounding the shootings of breeze,
Misbehaviour and murder sprees.
Put together in their fusion...
Somewhat coming to conclusion.
Summary, I will try to tell
If my memory serves me well.
Nebula and Desdemona...
Teenage girls, twirlers by stoner.
The latter, main protagonist...
The first one, there to coexist.
Drug use, their preoccupation...
Truant in their education.
Upon the road, an accident...
Death of a father - heaven sent.
His daughter's personal chaos
Which stems out of this sudden loss.
Years of practised self-destruction...
Mayhem rising - no deduction.
Mostly centred around one day,
More characters come into play.
Marijuana smoking brother.
A widowed and using mother.
A walking, talking enigma
With his passion for cinema.
A dealer and a trolley boy.
Two lesbians, each other's toy.
All who come across each other...
Points of plot from one another.
Confrontations of a female...
Missions of murder left in trail.
Acquaintance with a hat on top.
The server in a bottle shop.
A teacher who becomes a mate.
A pair of junkies with ill fate...
The killing of them taking place
In another man's garage space.
At the end, a resolution
Simple in its execution.
Ceasing of substance depending...
Desdemona's happy ending.
Not looked into for a while,
This story sits on a pile.
Perhaps with the correct mindset,
I may start to re-pen it yet.
