Ghost

Marshall Strong 1964 (Georgia)

Free verse
How lucky for you,                                                                                    and some time alone.                                                                                 I'm stuck with my ghosts                                                                           and the way they howl and they hiss.                                                   They f*ck like they dream                                                                             and how they won't kiss.                                                                            and when  I ignore them,                                                                              they tie my shoes together,                                                                                and in my pants they will piss.                                                                                                                                                      .
