JOHNNY KISSED

windshield at 85 per

lurched through to a

new world dashing

skleesh of his exit

spider design on glass

airborne he was tore

on the way out rips

and rags out Cornelia's

pretty creampuff prom

gown her daddy paid

pretty pennies out the

window Johnny visited

stellar ribbons of

sudden, spectacular red

all in a whipping spiral

on her too late the medics

dead on landing the

next week followed not

unlike the denouement of

a bad afterschool special

Johnny was like rock and

roll he was their lives'

James Dean immaculate

scapegoat savior pawn

come day after burial the

crew held sad court and

tribute Miguel emptied a

whiskey flask onto the

planted FTD package a

doo-wop ballad come alive

I know somebody ran this one back in the day....was it FEARLESS/DDDB? SIVULLINEN? No longer sure. It was a favorite of mine and I used to read it live a lot.
