cool sheets skin warm
first cigarette of the morning
last night I dreamt
riding the bus to work
this mark gets on
mongoloid pale blue eyes
fourteen, fifteen, sweet sixteen
and leather boots
I sweat a lot
but I'm not fat
what do you do all night
all night with mottled black nails
losing it lost
walk to work
cough some more
wipe my nose on my sleeve
thirty, forty, fifty one
pantyhose and sandals
inside your body
pants don't fit
beltline rolled down
lay off that whiskey
and let that cocaine be
