The Drug
Sometimes the bed comes to me
when I'm flying on a heavy cloud
and still suffering with dry mouth
and too bruised to reach the tap,
marvelous,
in Mother's arms where she passed the buck. Are you still with me, kid?
Take one of these. Snowflake upon tongue.
Filth, you love it.
When the shop's shut
two hours early, only got me to rely on for cigarettes now.
Keep the conversation snappy,
explain where the hypodermic goes
and if you're happy
keep it to yourself.
Pull your coat around your throat
or you'll catch cold.
Slow down, slow down,
inhale, enhance your experience.
It spins. It spins. Spin. Spin. Slow that teacup now, Alice.
Your fingertips trip across the edge of my black stockings,
my knees lightly-tremble, weakened by rebellion.
You and me, it works, you know? For at least an hour or two.
Fair exchange for a cigarette,
skirt down, jeans zipped.
Now fuck off, you prick.
Sometimes my bed comes to me
when I'm flying like a heavy cloud
and I don't need anyone
to wake me in the morning
for the room smells of stale smoke
and I've grown quite contented
waking up alone.

Excellent imagery here; every word is used to help create the speaker. The effect of the whole thing is to perfectly delineate the speaker's life (thoughts, experiences, mannerisms) as it stands at that point in time.

Each thought in the piece contains contended Clarity.Snowflakes-awesome metaphor, you must have appreciated yourself for that.

(A blitzkreig this was!)
What you do best.:)

absence of an article. Just me.
