Smelly Scum Child.
[ 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.

Oh, and thanks for providing me with potent ammunition, it makes my job alot easier.
Toodles you silly faggot!
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!
If I wanted to lie, I'd write lil poems about being happy with some sex slave wife and a 200k a year job. Unfortunately I have this habit of writing with respect to my enviroment and emotional condition.
Yes, I am an asshole. I am mean. I piss on pathetic wanna-be poet hacks. But my writing about being homeless is not a lie, and that will not cease being the facts simply because you are an upset little twat.
PS: Go fuck yourself with a lead crucifix, bitch.
I can read extremely well, and I am quite capable of writing in a formidable fashion. Officially (not that it really means shit, but none-the-less I can't help but mention-) I possess a perfect score of 800 on the writing portion of my GED. The first part entailed editing grammar, spelling, punctuation, and contextual errors; the second part entailed writing a five paragraph essay on whatever subject they happen to give you for that test attempt. Illiterate people can't pull off such a simple feat.
That aside, I am not a junkie. I tried heroin three times while bumming it in Portland, OR. I am the consummate pothead and full moon meth abuser.
Lastly, appeal has absolutely nothing to do with anything you stupid twat. Slang is simply the life and language of the street. If you intend to write a poem about such experiences you damn sure don't write it in a prudish, pompous, and formal Queer Britain fashion. That's for narrating the deeper bow'l soul of tea parties hosted by The League of Tight Puckered Aristocrats.
You foolish little woman... what oh what can breathe back the embers in your collapsed rectum?
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.
