Hour
Two – I find the Queen of Lawless
I found her
leaning on a
Valiant she said tell me I said
all in one short week
that’s how things
go down
in my town
you say it like you
mean it
not feeling limp
I never wanted to make
new friends
at 50 make new enemies
the same these damn kids
what are they five or six years old
techkids and
the pupils of their
parents’ eyes
are blown
wide
in admiration to the point beyond
seeing toddler junkies
the lot of them the little freaks
are dangerous try saying it
see how far you get
end up in a ditch
with me it is a delicate
negotiation this quicksand
we named love
here in Lawless you
can at least
peruse the menu
ain’t it so?
Bloody fantastic Kerri - this is awesome!!! So touched ... and such a lawless and absolutely poignant poem.
