Jimbo’s Wish
growing up
fumbling for excuses
your fingers, clumsy little
pads of flesh you don't
recognize
a scatter plot of acne
that won't erase
by mirror
why this scene doesn't work
kissing the detachable lips
of bobby-soxed method
girls
who keep feeding
you
non sequitur lines
from Chesterfield commercials,
why filterless is so good for you
how your heart is a pier
for survivors
of over-the-counter narratives
placebo plots
pouring sugar
in the old wound
of a veteran
&
all you think about
every every every day
are girls & suicide

Really fine, the lines, the wounded feeling and shattered form just right for the subject.
Wow
Thank you so much, David and Dianne
You have a very interesting idea of story. And I just read "Jim Morrison is Not Dead." Case in point.*
Thank you, Tim
"all you think about

Thank you, Darryl!
