Handsome Johnny

A Poem by Angelheaded Hipster
"

Point A to Point B gutter rock n roll write

"

To say I've changes

is an understatement

When one goes from

Point A

to

Point B

but not in the direct fashion,

one will arrive

a little worse for wear

a little more jaded

(if that's even a

remote possibility)

maybe even more

heart smart

Trying to maintain

the "image"

my "rock star" status,

well folks, the time

has come for me to say

"I could give

a f**k less"

I'm still me,

I still burn inside

turned the flame

down a little

bear with me.

Something will

light me up again.

 

Can't make promises

though.

I've broke too many

to honestly hold myself

accountable for

future plans.

 

Yeah, tell me about

that cop-out please.

Tell me I'm better

than that.

Though you know,

I already know that.

It just feels good

to hear it

from someone else

every once in awhile.

 

On second thought,

I've learned some things

from the Masters

(Bukowski, Ginsberg, etc)

it shouldn't matter

what the masses think

cause when that happens

you've sold your soul

to the lowest bidder.

unfortunately, no matter how much is bid, you always give yourself away, and never for less than your worth...simply put, we are what we do...and, "heart smart" is no match for "heart wise"...
