You Don’t Know My Middle Name

You Don’t Know My Middle Name

A Poem by Jorge Peppertrees

House, money, music, you.
Play your little game
See how your garden grew?
What's my middle name?

What are you trying to prove
Attention, power, fame
Buddhistly judging every move
What's my middle name?

Two’s a crowd in a king-sized bed
Cringing at your lack of shame
Rest my hairbrush contused head
What's my middle name?

We both know what went wrong
Let's say genetics are to blame
I can't stay where I don't belong
What’s my middle name?

It’s Ann
Ann!
A-N-N Ann
Thats my middle name
And if i didn't stick around,
It’s cuz you killed the flame
