Do you remember your first girlfriend or boyfriend
She was one of my best friend’s sisters
Girlfriend
Yup she was mine at least for
Three days
Anyway one day
I decided that I was in love with Linda
She was ………to be kind
Not the prettiest or the classiest broad in the world
Hell she was kind of plain
I am speaking in code here
Some please excuse me
But
What the hell
We were in like
5th grade
Anyway
All on my own
I went up to Broad Street and brought a dollar ring
From a tacky little store
That sold trinkets
Boggles bangles and Beads
An ugly thing now
That I remember
I ran back home
Went to my friends house
Sidney fisher house
My crazy Jamaican friend
And gave his sister the ring
She smiled her gapped tooth
Smile
And then took the ring to her mother Mattie,
To see
Mattie fisher was truly a scary creature
Short
Squat
Toad like and Loud
She was the prototype of the ghetto
Mommy who is always beating and yelling
At there kids in public places
You have seen her time and time again
Anyway she was
Loud
Funny
And would beat the living shit out of you
But Mattie always liked me
Because she thought I was a good kid
I could lie with the best of them
And Mattie who own kids were so
Rotten
Was unable to see through
To my black heart
I was a crazy kid
Anyway
Mattie
Came up to me
And I was shaking
She told me how cute the ring
Was
And how cute I was
I was so happy
That I ran out of that house
Two days later
I saw my new girlfriend
Linda
Walking down the street holding hands
With the craziest guy in school
Harvey hall
That was it
I ran into the house
Tried to get up some tears
Oh well
But I was in love
Anyway
What happened to Linda?
Later and not that much later
She became a lesbian
And a heroin addict
She still hung around us
Sid was grown and married
And I still hung with Sidney and his wife Claudia
Who also became a lesbian?
Anyway Linda
Soon o-d on the stuff
Sidney and us were torn up
But this family had a curse on it
They all started dying like flies
Sidney’s youngest brother
Died of aids
His sister od
His brother went to jail
Parents died
And the curse even extended
To Linda last girlfriend
Tessie
Tessie was Puerto Rican
Tall beautiful
And a truly nice person
To boot
She was a working girl
Anyway after Linda od
Tessie took up with another
Of our friends
Anyway
A guy escaped from the nut house
Upstate some where
This is a true story
The guy was crazy
He walked and hitches rides through two states
Trying doors along the way
People doors
Anyway he soon
Some how
Wound up in Elizabeth
Walked into Tessie
Building
Found her front door open
Which it always was
I used to warn her about locking her
Door
Anyway
He stabbed Tessie and her
New girlfriend
To death in the bed
Horrible
Elizabeth New jersey
Is a hard core town
It’s where I am from
But now when I return
There
I am not so sure if
It’s the same place
That I remember
But
Ill always remember
My first girlfriend
And her whining ugly smile
And short lived
Life
