Smelly Scum Child. (Free verse) by Y2kSlamPoet

[ It appears that this poem was lost in my travel pack. ] [ Unfortunately I found it and just HAD to share it with y'all.] I am prophet disguised as a street urchin deluded ex-yuppie poet cruisin' back alleys & lurchin-- gone stupid & I know it in Portland on heroin & apathetically searchin'. The quintessential joke: A raggedy bearded 'n soiled bum begging for the holy smoke, or at least some change for cheap rum-- Always straight fucking broke. I am the stink moochin off of your soul, taking myself to the brink & fillin up this hole in my vein so I don't have to think-- backin it up with a stiff drink. I am ScumChild, running wild & strange, askin' you for more change-- refusing to, Always.

Er, actually no, it correctly described me at that point in time. I'm happy to say that that is no longer the case.

Thats right! I'm no longer homeless and I am, yes, surprisingly enough, employed. Also though not exactly completely comfortable financially, I am no longer straight broke.

Sorry to have burst your happy little bubble there TJ. Toodles you queer dolt!
