Blue Funk
Never fall again
Wheels span burnt tires sang slow oily lullabies shushed seeming to quieten the sheer rage of her engine slick against the salt sweet wet rush of the blacktop… Speedy love letters re-writing themselves… scribbled hot-wired-red-fire embossed funeral cards reprinted on the inside of eyelids blistered with tears…
Wrong side of town again Johnnny down deep…cheap street sweepings deadbeats and drop-deadly bar girls Blue funk spunkmonkey speed junky whore flunky claret spilt guilt edged thick as the brick wall that killed ya watch out scout…heart blasted shouts spout thru glistening ivory ruby red fury framing scowl-growling too late mate warnings…
Dead of night full flight…blue funk hurtling drunk down the trunk spiraling galaxies flare then die under sodium street lights igniting life fantasies unspoken still born futures broken unspooling petroleum glazed hazy crazed house movies now playing to an empty late night noir theatre in a heartbreak hotel somewhere near you… Catch as catch can-cancerous contraptions an obstacle course of vehicles and memories to navigate she spins thru the round points punctuating her innocence middle finger up to the universe…spin on that God!
Never blasé her touché retort unsupported by evidence your honourable fuck face Justice and the jury’s still out fighting the count on that one she still has her seconds counting down to midnight blood on the canvas Death flies in the face of adversaries railings cut neon night into slivers of nonchalance… fuck you Johnny I’ll die when I want to… cry when I want to…you died? Well boohoo don’t give two hoots about you I’ll never fall again….
