Wham. Pow.

Wham

October 20, 2015 by Tom Stewart

“Sometimes kid, they just kick you in the balls.”
He’s always going through his pockets
“No reason, just ‘cause they can.”
Not looking for anything really
“Cock back their legs and…”
Just patting down the outsides
“Wham!”
Dipping his fingers inside
“And down goes Frasier!”
Always looking for what’s not there
“It’d be fucking funny if it weren’t so fucking sad.”
Maybe today he’ll find it
“No reason, no reason, just to be ornery.”
Maybe today

“Wham. No reason, no reason at all...”
