forget me not

 
two few years before my second score
and have been sufficiently bounced off life
enough to fully appreciate the impression
that i haven't yet put a dent into the big bitch

tried to let the ol' girl down easy
told her that she'd move on swiftly  
that many other suitors would pursue her

she said she has never heard of me

humble comes at the head of a hammer
dispelling the delusions of artists
assuming roles of worthy adversary

was certain that she stayed at home
waiting by the phone for my call
rereading the poems i sent her

she said she has never heard of me
but would love to hear my words

i could tell that she was humoring me
that any page laid in her honor
would be ripped to long slender strips
and woven into the floor of her birdcage

she looked into me as an experienced mistress
annihilating the prudishness of an adolescent
and i knew then that the madam of the house
is off limits
as long as i am insistent on her remembering my name
