death often waltzes in
when you're having a cigarette
or when you're drunk
or taking a nap
like a pale stripper
in a tight red dress
you're often driven
to an access of all three

For me it's usually
like a bum on the sidewalk
or a skunk on the highway
often getting your shoes wet
or dirty
is better then the smell

because we're still attracted
to the stripper
and the bum still needs a place to sleep
like all of us
still waiting
on earthly trumpets

Marvelous

I like this construction and the comparisons are interesting. I've never been attracted to a pale stripper in a red dress, but I could get the image enough to get why someone might be. Good poem.

Good stuff!

I liked this. I wish I could tell you why. I think because it lures me in. The narrative is accessible yet unexpected.
