#50s
remember
when music was
pure & uncut,
when we were all users
trying to survive?
addicted to
the crack-le of
the needle
as it hit the 45?
back when the
natural high of
heart & soul
was enough to suffice?
we’re just
some junkies
looking to score
excuse me mister,
could you spare a dime?

you sit in your pulpit all holier than thou
claiming if it was the 50's
you would fight in the civil rights movement
but now you are sitting back doing nothing
so
shut the **** up
you don't get to watch kids being
pulled from their parents and do nothing
while saying you would have fought for
people of color
you are lying there is no other way to put it
you ******* coward
and by the way the fight for
people of color isn't over so
get off your *** or shut up

I want to live inside a black and white TV.
Magazine and Studebaker Commander.
Country houses and housewifes.
Jewels and red wine.
Roses shall fade, as well as my beauty, but my anger is eternal.
You knows what we say about past? That it's better where it is.
I beg you, take me there. But if you can't...
As Judy Garland said,
"This is the end of romance, I'll go my way by myself, love is only a dance"

that night, I saw bodies in the motel bathtub
beckoning like a 50's Cadillac
back seat beats and Father's
bottle of snatched brandy up
to bring back our youth
and stay
for one last whisper in a last-innocent ear
the diner lights buzzing like
a lifetime of loss to mistakes
that can be little more or
less than broken glass lies

I know of a girl who dreads the New Year
Because it steals her away
from poodle-skirts and telephones
And all that is long gone
Drags her across the floor by her ankles
while she sobs
as though she'd known the era's
dead.
