someone's singing about whorehoppingA Poem by Daniel Atkinsonanswer me.
does this sound like me to you?
the sun has given me a headache. my eyes hurt and it seems as if i've been drinking but i don't remember a thing. there is a couple that lives down the road. they keep their windows open all the days in june and i can hear a baby child being hungry, thirsty, what have you. i have given up on sound-proofing life. there is sex guitar on the radio, on that station no one listens to, and someone's singing about whorehopping. there are no w****s left in this town. they left with my ex-wife. let's face it: i am sixty-three years old and i have lived maybe twice: once in a jail cell and once in an attic with a raccoon. it told me of the forest and i knew from "once upon a time" that it was sure to be a lie. listen closely: i could be breathing. is this me? that's up to you. © 2011 Daniel Atkinson |
