Jane Doe

by brie kelly wise   Jan 20, 2010


Buy your can of peppermint chew
Carve her name in a green tattoo
Like her oval sea foam ring
Hanging from your ignition key
Crash the engines, blaze toward the stars
Enter a room full of old guitars
Record all the dissonant sounds
Smash them to the ground

In her lip, a diamond Monroe
In her living room, a strip show
In her bathtub, a slow overflow
In her glass, a pinch of Bordeaux
In her bed, a handsome man named John Doe

    It's not like anything I've read before. It's a very, very good start, and I can't wait to read more, could you please message me when you continue your work on this (I would hate it if I missed track of this one).

    Really, really outstanding. I'm a very curious woman, so don't wait to long with continuing this ;-)
