don't flirt you said before I boarded that Sleepy Town Train "flirting is harmless," I protested No. Don't do it. you insisted "but I am an artist! that poem was just...art!" you know better than that you've tolerated my vanity my Scarlett O'Whoreuh aspirations pining away for the unattainable all the while smiling for you with a Pretty Please You Are Playing With Fire...someone told me that not too long ago Put Away Those Matches and count your blessings. but this morning I dreamed that we went inside a burger hut and I told them (as always) "all the vegetables, just no mustard or mayo" and of course the guy handed me a burger slathered with mayo on BOTH sides!!! I told him there was no way I could eat it I wanted a new burger so he wiped off the mayo with a napkin and I went ballistic the manager didn't apologize he told me to get a life then I was in a bookstore with endless aisles I was looking for Crazy Cock or Black Spring by Henry Miller but then when I found Crazy Cock I didn't want it anymore, after all today I'm going shopping for a swimsuit and sunscreen and a plastic lawn chair but please don't take it personally. |
