Bard & Grille

inspired by the imaginings
of Ms. Gina from the seventh veil...

these women, designed to allude and confound,
you tell them what they want to hear,
because they tell us nothing;
you see them as they really are,
and yet they still write poems for others
while giving me the clap.

leave the door open,
I want to listen to the LA traffic,
can't speak my mind
so I write these instead.

Green diner jello at 4am,
and of course the waitress is gorgeous;
this is Hollywood.

my pinky nail is painted cherry red
to match all her fingers,
and the mail is painted east
for a beast on 27th street.

sometimes while writing a poem,
I stop and consider
giving it a happy ending;
makes me feel good.
