Under a fence and over a wall
Passed three street preachers and four shopping carts
Knocking... once, then twice, then once again.
"Welcome back, it's so good to see you"
She never looks up from the ground.

Worn leather and cheap sunglasses
Rusted pipes and painted concreate
Like some cliche driven cyberpunk novel
Prolog -live fast die young
Bibliography -see Prolog

Cold room, hot veins, cold lips, sweaty palms
"You used to want me, I used to love you,"
"Do you remember, do you?"
"Sorry lady, but no I don't"
now can I please borrow your belt?

Oh man, I was just revisiting and this poem hits hard every time.... no matter how many times I've read it. So amazing! This reminds me a wee bit 'o' Irvine Welsh ....? ....-samone

You have such a unique voice. I'm always left wondering exactly what happened. I read too far into.. and I try to figure out exactly what inspired it, what this meant.. what that meant...

Usually I'm content with reading something and taking just what I take from it.. But half a handful of people make that not enough... you're one of them. I've missed you.
