desperado and paperbag princess (PopKorn Press Book 59)

Desperado, you better come to your senses

“It’s a book that starts, like most of his books at the bottom.” Yes, poetry follows a random order but this is linear and the only juxtapositioning is it starts at the end and goes backward if you want to read it as a life writing book. If you want to read it as separate poems start anywhere. It’s about friendships and a very fast life in Auckland as if I was on a quick break; having left mom, much better; fully recovered after 19 months in India and having returned for just two and a half months. The highlights are my friends: Justin, Justin and Daniel.

You been gone ridin' fences forever now
But, you're a hard one
And you must have your reasons
These things are pleasin' you now
But someday it will hurt you somehow

You better let some girl love ya
Lest it’s too late!
