...Sliding Into Third

Here is a piece of a work in progress. Currently untitled, revised, or looked at too often. The line breaks will most likely disappear in a later draft but reappear if and when I read it out loud. I'm tricky that way. As a whole, Snugglekitty & Other Bedtime Stories will be an interactive work in that you can come back here and compare the final drafts of poems to early stuff like this.

...she’s such a cut-up

when she’s cut up

and when she coughs up,

sometimes it sounds pretty as

the songs that she suppressed, forgot

then improvised the chorus

but batted a lash and waved that ass

so no one seemed to notice.

At some point, maybe I'll post the earliest draft of that poem Jordan Porter called Twilight. He wasn't entirely off-base.
