Fuck that bitch

too many people have sung the glories
of cocaine
Jackson Brown, Eric Clapton, Billie and
the blues kings
but I say “fuck that bitch!”

there was nothing glorious when I cracked
that slacker kid, he was making out with his girlfriend
in the theater isle of the La Habra Movies
the tear above his eye squirted like some bad
Hollywood “B” horror flick
I wanted to finish the flick, but escaped by seconds
the police pulling in as we pulled out

when I stood screaming at the imagined D.E.A.
staring out the peephole in the door at 4:00 am and
blowing giant chunks of drywall with the
short barreled pump I slept with
it was only a crystalline madness with wicked paranoid
dreams and criminal intent

all that time in dark places where dirty deeds
would shame any hedonist
willing to let slide all transgressions as long as
the bitch was good
preferring blue pharmie over manitol laced
rocks

no, you keep that bitch at bay. She doesn’t give a
shit and nobody ever walked away with out looking back.

fuck that bitch.

Thanks everyone for the good vibes. Unfortunately, this one is entirely true--no filler. Much to my shame.

Hey if you're shamed, I am. This struck a chord in me because I've sung the song myself. Not quite so melodic, or with such beautiful lyrics, but the same song. Still singing it.

Thanks.
