The Late Constance 2
Constance out to score some meth
Packing her glass pipe
Told her "That shit's certain death!"
But won't listen to that tripe
Constance loves her crystal smoke
Sucks it up inside
Breathing out that "Life's a joke
And I got taken for a ride!"
She squeals off at rapid speed
Her sweet foot on the gas
Constance finally learns to bleed
When she sails off the overpass.

Short, but packing a wallop! I've seen what Meth did to my best friend, it's a demon.
Great write.

Addictions do come in multiple forms. The feeling of "I can't live without it!" is crippling, whether the "it" is drugs, sex, religion or any other obsession. Moderation in all things. If that isn't possible then abstention in at least a few might be the way to go. Thanks Schiitaryn.

Yikes...poor Constance. Sounds like she should have taken that advice. Is it just me? Because this poem, although grim, seems to be a little lighthearted. I may be reading it wrong? What's the verdict, Crow?

You're reading it pretty right, Virginia. It's black comedy. The verdict is guilty with time served.

The irony speeds up in the last stanza...
Somehow made me think of that Jefferson Airplaine song "white rabbit"....
