Underground

By drhook

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Childlike Figures with death machines Punks and vigilantes Smoking their dope with the pope Gold and silver Black and White No telling if it's day or night Gasoline reeks through the teens Here is the sound On the underground 9 year olds in mini skirts Washing in soaps of dirt Making their pimp sell the limp Dirty old man with their magazines And quotes from their movie scenes Gather their dust in a hustle It's never up or down In the underground Upon the high train There'll be more slain Down on the underground Written October 24th, 2001 © on Oct 24 2001 07:17 AM PST   17 • 0 • 1
