Poem: I knew from the age of reason that I was a loser
Adolescence was my insane teacher
With the romantic parlances of some svelte lady
It was easy being a cruiser
With my innate qualities being in full fruition
Enjoying those bottles of fine chardonnays
Just playing Russian roulette
Inebriated cruising magnet was my youthful duty
Bits of abstinence brought on by incarceration
Overnight accommodations
Referral to hospital physic wards
What some people call love/ I refer to as devotion
Having offspring /with the same genes
Scary domestication /that''s familiy life
Rummaging in revere now of broken past lives
Married what you think the perfect spouse
Facsimile of myself
Love the cast and forget the past
When those nights of old age and poverty haunt you
Living in purgatory
I''ve been to paradise/all illusion
Everybody is busy playing solitary
What happened to my Oldsmobile?
Really!
What happen to me?...
