Long Manicures Poems

Dreamt of wonderful futures on the finest, fresh smelling sheets.

Sitting at the shore.  The water is still rolling.
You want to know how much longer I'll be here for.

We'll all be here till death is at the door....

Young love is easy
Wild and hot,
Getting and giving 
From bottom to top.

All of your attention,
Best manners and smiles,
Flowers and perfume 
Sweet smelling for miles.

Shirts and dresses starched,

Hair-do’s and manicures
Take care of the...

Her life is not one of shopping malls,
those fancy purses, and shoes to match.
No her life is not fifty dollar hair cuts, and

The humble dank, dark hall of death
Was quiet, peaceful and stocked.
With corpses bandaged, naked and cold
And not even close to rottening.

Leather faced pretties and fly-blown chaps
Beneath the sheets snow white.

passionately? 
The little things

Like running your fingers 
through my hair!

You used to rub my back,
passionately!

  Skin 
When you walk down the hall with your friends
all laughing and smiling,
you laugh 
you smile too,
and your skin just waves.
But you always know they see it,
the racist,
