Buzz Phrase

Topics: classic

Down on your luck     or, as they say, "financially embarrassed" ...     with little in the way of hope,     less palaver    -     drifting in & out of theme parks not unlike     El Paso, Prairie Junction     between jobs, causes and wives...     letting "it all hang out", in the jumble of the moranese     letting despair and the pig iron law of economics     have their say    -     shouting "moral support" in the face of the rocky     "well-wisher".     I read all the plots and each ends up as a grave...     once in a single afternoon I even gave up on     golddiggers     who, though just passing through meant dress rehearsal     for the bigger jive, "longterm"     and since when should "patching up and catching up"     make starry-eyed even that slip of a girl, commitment.
