She Was Loaded by John D. Robinson

She Was Loaded

.

Earlier tonight

Miles Davis

take of

‘Time after time’

came from my

radio and the

last time I heard

that was when a

self-destructive

friend knocked

at my door: I

could see that

she was loaded and

she opened up

to me,

I could have

taken the

opportunity

but rolled joints

and poured wine

and when I

awoke I was

alone and when I

saw you next you

were in a casket

and I walked away

from this funeral

as I have done

so many times

before,

time after time.
