Andy Warhol and Candy DarlingShe walks with sure feet
The sound of stiletto boots
Echo down the alley
It isn't easy being a girl
Can't remember the last time
She ate a cheeseburger
Or drank a milkshake
She preferred candy
Snort it
Lick it
devour innocence
Inhale life's blood
It's all good
On the wild side
She smiles
The smile of the walking dead
A little blow
For some blow?
It wasn't always this way
Hadn't meant to get lost in a Lou Reed song
She used be Daddy's pride and joy
A quarterback in high school football
She was only in it for the ass grabbing
And locker room showers
A heel snaps
She's got runs in her hose
Her mascara smeared in black streaks
A parody of womanhood
So...I used massive artistic license here, lol. The song was about Candy, it inspired the poem. The poem is not about Candy, but is about a drag queen hooker. And...I'm obsessed with Warhol's art. There you have it. My strangeness in a nutshell.

Great stuff, Kat! Loved everything about this post - your poem was really good, loved the skanky pic of Warhol and Candy and listened to the whole Lou Reed tribute.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all of it. Thanks!
