Jive crap
That’s all this life is
Just some jive Asses attempt
at some more jive ass poetry
It means nothing unless you're stoned
and you are one of those people
who wake up everyday
to find yourself
sleeping with cockroaches and in filth
Lying in a bed of empty words
that cometogether
like a high speed Interstate highway car wreck
involving two SUVs and a 1972 Pinto
fully loaded with twelve boat people
trying to enter the country undetected
by the Poet authorities___
but then.....no matter....
you're dead already with your Jive crap
That's all this life is....
more Jive crap and some more heaped on top of that.....
