Never did really like the Beats

Keroac says ‘pretty girls make graves’

Snapping his neck back to stare

Should have been more concerned

With whiskey and liver failure

Pretty girls make graves

Poets take lives and write them down

Spell them out in cigarette smoke

And empty bottles

Those urgent napkins littered with lines

About Dharma bums balled up and thrown out

With all the pretty girls who fell for

Pretty lines about death

So Jacky boy tell me did they dig your grave

between their legs

who was whispering to whom

in that dark room, in every city in America

in every late night supermarket

next to the avocados

while the pretty boys stared you down

it was the girls that frowned on your tomatoes

told you ‘you’re going to drown’



~Me


I'm kinda Meh about this one
