cocaine and cigarettes

two johns
older and smarter than i ever intend to be
gave it up
this last 6 years
after decades of routine genius
et al genius routine
fine tuned eyes and ears
caustic charming tongues
full of love and, softer, velvet vitrol
coming to me in bootleg
coveted wax and peer to peer
sneakt through my parents bedroom doorway as a 5 yr old me
fought my first bounds of insomnia
you will be missed
good night john peel, 65
johnny carson, 79
you will be missed
