There Used To Be A Girl... Poem by Chuy Amante

There used to be a girl
I'd smoke pot with!
I'd get high
and she'd want
to kiss

I'd push her off
and tell her to listen
she'd drop more clothes
and never stop kissin

I'd talk of gods
and goddesses with s's
I'd translate the bible
and the truth profess-ed

She act interested
in all those ideas
that led me to love
a place where she lived

Me and my brain
and she and her heart
we'd get together
and a fire we'd start

A fire only kindled
by a love for the truth
two as one moving
in our cosmic-
flying-phone booth
