BITCHED
WE ARE ALL BITCHED FROM THE START*
They find each other through reincarnation Boy Lama
knows old Lama’s favourite cereal +the number of raised
moles on his grandfather’s cheek On this day in 1959 our
Dalai Lama arrived in Dharamshala with 80,000 followers!
They’d all walked over the Himalayas an exodus sans the
unleavened bread
Dalai looked geeky big rims black lace-up oxfords white socks
+broad child-smile He was bitched from the start Communists
want to kill him still +his boy Lama replacement rots in prison
Were you bitched from the start? Drop me a line with details & I
will immortalize you sometime soon (#bitchinglorystories) No doubt
that I was bitched All poets are So is every butcher you will ever meet
My high school BFF’s dad Lou Goodfield was a butcher +a ginger
This July it will be 3 yrs. since my notebook was stolen cover gold
+filigree Words dredged out of swamps +songbook from hell One
angry poem about Neil Young’s vanity project Granddaddy Shouted
obscenities all night from a box at the ACC 2003 Bitched most definitely
