-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in the winter blues stuck in another waiting room heat raging in the winter blues coat rack full my imagination hoping something young walks in soon i don't think it wants to dream about the wrinkling skin under three layers of clothes fresh out of some vacuum space saving bag although, it certainly has dreamed of worse --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- plenty of happiness honesty hurts laughter doesn't cure shit money can buy you plenty of happiness true love does have a fucking price cheaters always get ahead faster and death is a relief it's up to the user if it is sweet or not ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ i never asked to be born on the cranky days i remind myself i never asked to be born then i'll think of my father and the worms six feet under the ground the anniversary of the day we put that fucker down there is coming up suddenly a smile --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- past any sense of reason there's a darkness deep inside of me that every blue moon or so wants to come out and play stir some shit up push the envelope well past any sense of reason this is where i always tend to hold back the desires and do my best to just play it cool but one of these days they might as well get the riot gear ready madness has no timetable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- high heels the sound of high heels on tile floors scratches that itch i will always have in the back of my brain of a long-legged queen digging those heels in my chest with a skirt on short enough that i can enjoy the view as i embrace the pain
J.J. Campbell (1976 – ?) is old enough to know better. He’s been widely published over the years, most recently at Yellow Mama, The Beatnik Cowboy, Terror House Magazine, Horror Sleaze Trash and Cajun Mutt Press. You can find him most days on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)
Thick and meaty words. Always a fine read. ‘past any sense of reason’ is definitely a banger in my opinion.
thank you my friend.
