Dirty Lies                                                           

For years

I claimed

to be

at Woodstock

and I was

but I left early

before Jimi

although for years

I described

how fine he was

thought I remembered

seeing Janice

on Saturday night but

I’m sure

I left Saturday afternoon

lines too long

to the port-o-potty

left wet

with the girlfriend

with the clinging breath

her miserable lips

on my chin
