PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm drunk surrounded by girls and all of them look the same,

Emily, Amanda, Sarah, Rachel, Michelle

What the hell was this girl's name again?

This happens to me more often than not

Especially in Nashville or even on the east side for the more

eclectic ones in our local society here where I call home,

Downtown is littered with girls in what I consider the uniform

for a night out with their girlfriends,

Regulation cowboy hat

Regulation plaid shirt

Regulation skirt

Regulation cowboy "shit kicker" style boots,

What a joke,

How am I supposed to tell these girls apart and who has

a decent personality if all of them are clones of country artists,

I find the girl dressed all in black,

The girl with odd color hair,

I want to find a girl that is also in disgust

at the generic cavalry that marches in to downtown

trying to win the war on sobriety,

Go down any back ally and you'll see them fighting,

Holding each others hair while they vomit on sewer rats

and go back to talk to that one muscley guy with a jacked up Chevy,

I ignore it honestly,

I stay away from that part of town but so often some one new comes

to Nashville and says,"What's downtown like?"

I respond,"Do you own any plaid shirts, jean skirts, or shit kickers?"
