LIKE A STRAIGHT SHOT AFTER MIDNITE
The toughest
thing
a man may dois have morals
without
the threat of G.O.D.and in spite of
the treachery of
societyAmerican
or otherwiseexpand
your heart
Grinch-like
and let the
good stuff flow out of you
like a dandelion
gone to seed
getting kicked to pieces
by rough-fingered windthere is hope . . .
hope for me
and hope for you,
If you are not yet a zombieSo go to it
there is rum and other things
an ocean to drink
If you need a force-field,
Plenty of good tunes to shuffle
Your feet to
and plenty of well-curved wenches
that deserve to have
their names
Screamed out in the dark
