I'll Never Wake Up in a Good Mood Again
Between seventeen
and twenty-two years old
I was an inch and a half taller.
We were in a Goth band
and all wore "Nosepickers;"
ankle high leather boots
with a zip on the inside
a pointed toe
and generous heel
just like the Beatles wore.
We'd stink them up
and wear them down
to the rivets
until grunge came
and we gave them up for Dr. Marten's
and wool socks.
They don't sell them anymore.
