11,652. DOMINIQUE

DOMINIQUE
I'm just no fun any more,
and all you vigilantes can 
tell, come running me home 
like I was headed straight
for hell. But not a moment
too soon, my bad luck runs
out. Here's the hump-backed
whale I was just talking about.
-
This coloring book only colors
in red; and I'm so used to that
it's now gone to my head.
-
Can I call you Brother Archy,
Archy? I really think that was
your name; I recall being twelve
together, you taking most of the
blame : in that ten-cent Easter suit
they forced us both to wear, one
arm for you, and legs everywhere.
-
Now I get nauseous at all that comes
by me; man I hate this life. If I
had to do it again tomorrow, I'd
sure hope it would come out right.
