Cocaine Lil And Morphine Sue Poem by Wystan Hugh Auden

I read this for the first time in 9th grade (1986) and it had a significant impact on me, as my favorite uncle was a recovering cocaine addict. Little did I know, that I, myself, would become Cocaine Lil herself for five years of my life. I thought of this poem often during those dark times, but fortunately my ending was much different. Jennifer lived, but Lil did not.

Genius.
