An early poem expressing my inner turmoil

Subway train
Get outta the rain
Piss in the halls
Busted stalls
Wino bum
Toilet scum
Grab some ass
Pump some gas
Middle class
Kiss my ass
Hang ‘round
What’s goin’ down
Jersey shore
Seaside whore
Atlantic City
Boardwalk kitty
Cheap ass wine
Friend of mine
See the shrink
Try not to think
Rorschach slide
Try to hide
Looks like a goddamn butterfly
Flunk outta school
Play the fool
Rittenhouse Square
Faggots there
Suits and ties
Alibi lies
Cool green park
Get out by dark
Make a buck
Liar’s luck
Black widow shine
Tonight you’re mine.
