ROCK & ROLL


You looked
into the lens:
wild long,
dark
hair, short
goatee,
half smile
black tee,
svelte
body

Wincing eyes,
sharp gaze,
old man’s
orbs,
pain from
inside
I too,
accidentally
smoked a PCP
laced joint
as a teen
Dance-
teria
patrons
tormented
me

Bodyguard kicked
hotel door down
Pretty noose, you
dangled
between
heaven
& earth
