For Want Of A Better Word: Wisdom

some things an old dude told me while I gave him a ride to the casino

good music soulful he said
I won over a hundred dollars playing cards last night and gave more than half of it back got a room for a couple nights I'll probably be walking home tonight it isn't about the money I love the game
you know what I miss most? young pussy money and pussy are the only two things in life that you need drugs help but they can send you sideways and back you can buy anything you want with money but you can lose your soul mine's long gone south for the winter of my discontent
when I got back from 'Nam they called me baby killer they weren't lying I killed everything that moved including babies I have to live with that
God's a woman everyone thinks men run this shitty world they're wrong we've been fucked since the day we were born
I wish I could give you more but I'm always broke he said and handed me a ten wish me good luck brother
good luck I said you heroic bastard I thought

In My Imagination

nobody wins the election or better yet no one votes

the red light turns green before I fuck everything up

my government did not just blow up a family celebrating a six year old's birthday because a satellite thought it saw a terrorist smoking a cigarette in the backyard

the streetlamp is a spotlight at the grand old opera I'm standing under

the short story I told her wasn't a lie
