lefty’s lament

September 21st, 2008 by kevin

i wrote a poem for lefty today. i think it’s a haiku …

i love you even
when you smell like a shit pile
in the tub right now

speaking of really excellent poetry (were we?), has everyone checked out my friend chicago mel’s blog?

i’m on a bit of a keith richards rip lately:

two lines:

“don’t try this at home.”

“i don’t do as much as everybody thinks, but i probably do a bit more then they imagine.”

    I think your haiku is lovely. people don’t acknowledge their shitty buttocks enough.

    lefty smells better, although a little off around the head. i may need to resoak the lad. thanks for your help (and for the soup). i’m sorry you left smelling like what the dog rolled in.

    melly-mel, if there is an esoteric sense to the midwest, you’re the man for the job (from a certain perspective). a little distance might help you see the region more clearly. or so i have read …
