life or something like it

Speed killed my Momma
Alcohol my Dad
My uncle raped me when I was 9
Someday I am going to be President
This is America
and everybody is allowed

Michelle, age 11


I don't work as well as I used to
some parts only have memories
a young friend in his 50's
says he is going to get me
a hooker when I turn 100
ah, the enthusiasm of youth

Carlow, age 95


Thie kids are all grown
with kids of their own
all moved away
My husband passed away
suddenly last year
I thank God he planned for the future
I grieved as long as I needed to
now it is my time
that handsome yound stud of 60
sure cuts a mean rug
his karaoke is pretty good too
wonder what else he can do

Marge, age 72


21 and drunk as hell
in the middle of the desert
just my last 6 pack and me
my 45 will see to that

Jim, age 21
