the long haul

Post by saw » May 29th, 2017, 10:05 am

doctors on speed-dial
used to be fast food and women back in the day

life is a satire, the joke
is on the man with the white whiskers and disappearing hair

that brash young fella
that could eat jalapenos while drinking you under the table

he left one day ( definitely the best thing )
left the building to run down some crazy ethereal dream

and he never came back ( also best thing that could have happened )
but now !.. there's some decrepit old imposter coot... here for the long haul

yes i think that woman that used to sit on the bar stool with long blonde hair and fish nets
looks much like a witch to me now
long red nails and high heels
maybe she was a great lover
maybe she was a sloppy drunk
maybe she was my friend
now
i wonder
how i ever was able to like her
how she changed so much with in me
that i had to rearrange my chimney
built a fire in my chest
had to burn the rest
silly as it may seem
she lived only in the dreams
for while awake
make no mistake
it was mass consumption
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

pretty young things
always a delight
to the eye
candy
but a fully-ripened woman
with laugh lines
an extra pound
or three
and a touch of gray
a real woman
beyond pretty...
true beauty
