at my yellow polo,
red spatters
so evenly placed that
they look unnatural -
as if printed,

With thoughts of getting fish-faced on a Friday night, 
I dropped anchor in a portside bar 
To contemplate the crooked path to closing time;

If I had the girl
 we would sleep days.
 Put dimes in the jukebox by night, 
 listening as darkness plays.

 But her haunting green eyes,

Valerie Garman entered the world upon the tail-end of the upper-middle class

A place where the schoolgirls were tantalisingly innocent and the men were

When my friends went to trick-or-treat
I didn't want to go
But now I'm really tired 
Of being frightened sick
So I went out to by back yard

I will always love my God and pray whenever I can.
He gave me common sense and the tools to be my own man.
I don’t live for fortune and I won’t live for fame.
Let’s be clear,...
