she pokes my trashA Poem by Juni ParksSmothered in leftover sausage ham gravy A liver-spotted, sewer-swimming baby Auroleus
i don't like that old lady
who lives in the apartments on the other side she carries a stick and wears a red sweater and she's always poking her stick in the dumpster she talks to me once in awhile but i ignore her cause i know she's going to poke my trash i don't like her poking my trash cause my trash got a big mouth it tells the world that i drink red wine and dark rum, and eat microwave chicken dinners and too much bread, and cook macroni cheese every other day, and roll my own cigarettes ( i got a prescription), and my ice-maker's on the fritz again my trash, my life is none of her goddamn business it's got to stop or else i'm putting on my red sweater and i'm heading over to her side of the apartments and jab her trash, snoop through her old lady life and if it goes too far me and her gonna have it out stick to stick sweater to sweater © 2014 Juni Parks |
