according to this filly's notes she died from snorting
too much coke at a New Year's Eve Party.
sunlit curls, misteltoe lips, in death
she's Shirely Temple grown, still serenading
young soldiers for an old man's titillation.
to my surprise her hymen's whole,
19-years old and unspoiled
(perhaps she thought her nasal bridge
the symbol of her chastity,
her powder binge her wild night.)
while I draw back her modest sheet
a lesson taught me as a boy
by my granny springs to mind:
you're fucked if you do
and you're fucked if you don't.
