Young men
take their
hot pics for
a quick fix,

I mix my drink with soda
loada
******* really.

Seal me with cellophane
don't let me be so vain
I am not young
anymore.

I captured it all in
the fall of Saigon
I dreamt of it down
in Hanoi.

This thousand yard stare
looks at me
from
over there
and
everywhere
else that I see.

Shoot me full of ******
fire on me and
I'll go back in
to the storm
that I once called
my
youth.
