Poetry:The Girl With The Gag In Her Smile

by James Heard with apologies to Charles Bukowski

Suppose it'suppose'd to be funny
with her trying to smile like that
mouth too wide an
all that painful pity cornering up
in her dimples
her tits is all rbuised 'like
an that guy still trying to look
lik hes gentally whispering on her

i imagine that hot breath
tastes a lot like beer
look at his gut does this guy
even know how stupid this shit looks
like hes got a mask on fer shitsake
but hes got her cowed down
on all fours so hes in
control

smile
for you'rdaddybabygirl
tgrowing up sure is differen
than when i was a
Kid
