Decoys and Disguises behind large-areas of smoke screens

by Jacki   Jul 23, 2005


Her skirt to short; Her hair flung from one side
to the
other

'gotta dolla, gotta dolla?'

Dirty finger nails
grazed her hips
Red lipstick faded on her cheek
With a smile of hypnotic
schemes
her mind deceiving her towards
an out-stretched dream
But cursed by suicidal things
Suddenly blind
like a wristwatch without time
She can't tell yesterday
from today or tomorrow

'gotta dolla, gotta dolla?'

over there,
there's a one armed man
with graffiti on his feet, face and hand
parched skin
wrapped like a drum around
the tight throat of melody
war songs between soldiers
and long lost sons'
they peer out
from piercing bloodshot eyes
her blade's serrated.
Cigarette tossed aside

'Hey you! Gotta dolla, gotta dolla?
