POETIC JUSTICE

Folder: 
AMERICAN ZEN KOANS

 

Be careful

what you wish for

you just might get it

but that doesn’t

actually apply here

 

poetic justice does

 

I was gonna

blow off a friend

to take a girl to Europe

but it didn’t pan out

 

and it turns out

that he blows me off

to take a girl of his own

to Europe

 

so now I get

what I was gonna do

to someone done to me

 

so I’ll be in Europe

alone and

in order to get

my kicks

I’ll have to improvise

 

But I can’t really complain

about it

because if

you get right down to it

 

I am getting

exactly what

I deserve to be getting

 

Now he’s in Europe

with his own girl

and I’m gonna need

to hope Dutch whores

live up to rep
