The Lady is a Tramp

mascara
lip-gloss
and a loaded .45

car keys
whiskey flask
I’m going for a drive

as Frankie would say
this lady is a tramp

Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp

I love that your work screams depth( and normally in so few words) and meanings behind what lies on the surface. I feel like we both bleed confession in our work as well, which just adds to the mystery of it all. Lovely!

i love short poems, as i have a short mind. i mean, attention span.

and i love the first stanza: the first two lines say something, but the third line really says something.

'car keys' -what modern archetypal simple words.
'whisky flask' - alcoholism and class all rolled into one.
'...for a drive' more modern archtype.

and Frankie grew up about a mile from here.
