Goddamn Tropical Diseases! (And MORE poetry)
Red Lights: Singapore
-----------------------------------
Red Lights: Singapore
Laser lights and stiletto heels
Bistros smell like rotting fish
Rain pours down through hazy mist.
Students chatter on a bench
Older men jeer from Mecedes'
The Garden City never sleeps
A safari of humans, flowers and glass.
A little girl's happiness pours from the lazer show
Tearing neon holes in the heart of the old grandmother
And I walk the streets, an ostentatious prostitute,
Selling myself, just like everyone else.
Tiger print skirt and nails made to stab;
China White smile and expensive knee-highs
I take his hand and into the night
I lead him to an awaiting cab.
The morning lights will show glass-and-steel monoliths
From the foggy windows of a five-star hotel
A small Death Metal band will fold its show
And someday, maybe, their records will sell.
But now I lie on a bed of false promises:
I've thrown away life on a clueless bet,
And the Japanese lover who handles my body
Softly whispers: "me wo akete..."

Ashley's song
----------------------------------------------------------
Little Ashley will never awaken
Little Ashley is in a coma
Little Ashley was an only child
Who ended her life in a college dorm room.
An individualistic child,
She knew no one else's opinion mattered
So she sat on the net buying shitty EPs
And she nearly lived in a tattoo parlor.
Little Ashley's pain built up day by day
Little Ashley was told that she had no future
Little Ashley was told that she'd rather be dead
And these word in the end are what became her.
She knew there was no connection between
Others' reactions and her self destruction
But she'd created the darkness that hung around her
Like an unused carpet at a flea market.
Little Ashley will never awaken
Little Ashley is in a coma
Little Ashley was an only child
Who ended her life for another dogma.
------------------------------------------
I don't really like the last one. Maybe I'll edit.
The vacation is going great, I went to the beach yesterday and saw a beautiful show. Unfortunately some asshole got me sick today (a fever, upset stomach) and I missed shopping in Chinatown. I wanna shoot whatever asshole got me sick.
Love,
Sash~
