little green buttons

john alan douglas


looked at my shirt brand new green shirt this morn
sober and saw no buttons anywhere
left them all on the sweatybloody puke floor
of sleazy westcoast hotel pub
after fight with five cement brained bouncers
after ripping open brand new green shirt
or after was ripped open by angry slobs
at table where green and unbuttoned
my ex-wife ex-lifelove sat
smiling being and still
just a little still
loving me
