REJECTION LETTER

Dear valued customer,

   One of our representatives recently spent a pissed off 10 minutes before his cigarette break reviewing you case.  His girlfriend had just dumped him, and he found your case to be uncompelling. We appreciate how many nights you have lay awake on a tear-soaked pillow dreaming of a better future.  These payments mean a lot to us, and we hope that as our valued customer, you will continue to make such payments.  However, upon review of you case, we find that as of yet, your loneliness cannot be helped.  We suggest you refer to our sister company FeelNot LLC for diagnosis and subsequent pharmaceutical treatment until further notice.

    We thank you for your time stolen, 

SINcerely,

 

                 Your Dreams

a trademark corporation of Your Future.

OLDGROWTH

Sab-cat critters, tumbleweed under brush

Fire screaming like sirens full of wrath

Too late, men's souls needed for the crush

Like a fine wine to sticky toes,

Much too much.

And the stiffs stomp in, one by one

lined up pretty, like a dozen smoking guns

Waiting for salvation from the One

Saliva thick on sweaty gums.

But who can pay the half-pence

For the pleasure of a story

Over forty, and still nothing

Came like it does in the stories.

Your days are sordid and dull

Like a dumb fighter with rope burns

Like a tap on the back

From a floozy who calls herself Destiny

Incredible how her neck

Never gets stuck in the noose

She's so loose like she's juiced

On oil and chartreuse.

But then ether's coming too

In the hands of winsome Serenity.

No blemishes there, just

Porcelain and paint

Steel and sutures lead the way

Into her pent-house of Pleasure.

Break it and buy it

Carry it and console it

Let the jagged edges of sorrow bite your nimble limbs

Lick up the profits

On kitten tongues that tickle

In the softest places.

            

                                             Menage trois

They love you

They need you

They taste you

And They want more.
