we can't all be cowboys
cheap shot
no filter...

Lightning surrender your strangle hold 
On the heart of the tender
For if being nice is a crime
Advantage you will take time after time 
But I will not surrender my outstretched hand
Even as out of the corner of my eye I see your cheap shot you land...

You opened your mouth, to shoot out daggers

when I turned my back to you

What a cheap shot... you coward

spit your cutting words at me

and watch me heal faster than you can cut

I am not one to be whittled

And now I have new armor

so you can not cut me again

I bleed for me alone now...

A short polka dot dress
doesn't belong here.
Amidst the predators
headless beer
dream benders 
vulva vampires
cheap shot dead enders
so willing to blow hell fire
into innocent embers.

A dash of black out.
Sprinkled into your naïve drink.
Sticky dreams dying
in a puddle of sunrise piss.
Daddy always warned you about the curse
of a short polka dot dress....

I usually see them coming
this one caught me by surprise.
It hit me in the back of my melon
right between the eyes.

A cheap shot was extended
bludgeoned from behind.
Directly above an area
where the sun has never shined.

I need to be more careful
the tiny dancer keeps watch.
I guess it could have been worse
I could have caught one in the crotch.

Tomorrow is a brand new day
off the clock and out to lunch.
I have new friends that watch my back
for the dreaded sucker punch....
