cocaine and the tears of dolphins
she told me she was
made of cocaine and
the tears of dolphins
i laughed, ordered
two drinks and got
ready for the show
she said she achieved
her dreams when she
ran away to the circus
as a teenager
she had plenty of stories
of getting raped by clowns
and blowing a guy while
fucking around on the
trapeze
but she wanted to know
if my poems about hookers
were true or not
she had certain lines
she would not cross
i finished my drink
and ordered another
started to tell a story
about a nun tired of
serving god and how
being in the right place
isn’t always about luck
