L.V. Longpour- A long way for a short poem

Inject me

Inject me with your restless blood.

 Make me whole and feral

And loud and weird and drunken

And a breaker of promises

And a remaker of reality

And an occasional drug user

And a wearer of paint-splattered clothes

And a mate of who I want when I want

And a damn straight bourbon drinker (no ice)

 And the most out-there lover

And a champion of selfishness

And a do as I see fit when I see fit kind of guy

And a disappointment to all except you

And ignore those you try to help me

And maybe die young but who gives a fuck?

And a maker of art that makes passers-by drop to their knees

And a constant irritant to friends

And one who would give everything to those friends

And one whose stars are assuredly cursed.

Make me like you if you have the power.

Infect me with that life-lust

Inappropriate to a man my age.

Inject me.

Inject me.
