Lifestyle Poem #1

Familiar with black escalades

And secret little boogies,

Those naughty boys,

They ran out of the corner store

And away from the sirens,

Those banshee sirens

Lifestyle Poem #2:

No, I haven’t gotten around to that yet

I was busy with my life, slow bearded and fighting doggies

but

Those boys!

Those naughty boys!

They don’t do anything!

Your front wheels thieved on Telegraph

Your lips shiny in sly bars

Where you got down,

I guess

I was dripping water in the bathroom

Wondering how poop got on my towel

That’s why I don’t shower too oft,

But just wait with the door closed
