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.

Infact, a real life story. !!!

Air is never any good without the spike-caress of ganja smoke.

Heroin wasn't anything special... the needle and the poking, the pukish morning after. The appeal was ultimately lacking. Three times and I decided it was simpler, more practical, and much more enjoyable to just smoke weed and top it off with a decent ball of opium from time to time. That and a generous supply of free liquor from charitable barflies helped me scrape by the last four months I spent in Portland. Shitty part is, I can't get my grubby hands on any opium here in California... but, then again, there's always the weed, which is all I really need.
