A Book of Nine Poems
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Bits and pieces of overheard voices;
College students sounding like a high school crowd.
Open legs and raucous laughter;
Whooping and cursing way too loud.
A counselor counsels the felonists;
who can’t get a job because of drug arrests.
Tells’em “Go back to drugs, you can always sell dope!”
And there’s money for the pocket, but there’s no hope.
Young women too fat for their own good;
All stick together in the lonely fat-hood.
While other peers laugh at the way they look,
They’re looking for love from behind a textbook.
A young man brags of his escapade;
Talks about the place where she was layed.
Semen upon the white, satin sofa.
Semen and blood on the white, shag rug.
Voices overheard in the cafeteria.
