you're not in this chapter

---

She was Who Are You? dumbfuck hippie caterpillar

with her long cigarettes and reeking pot, she was

waggling those blue fingertips while I did the A E I O U.

-

She was once, twice,

three times a whore

It wasn't exciting much anymore but

She says I gotta pay for this

Beast I created, this monster in hiding

This dormant, greedy demon

-

She said the first time she noticed me, I looked like Tom Sawyer

Fishing rods and bullets in the sack on my shoulder

-

And so I told her the reason

why I was leaving her for London

-

She was a completely different genre

And I was Huckleberry Finn.
