Wildwood # 6 The Lip Poem by James McLain
Wildwood # 6 The Lip
She put the hot end of the crack pipe
In her mouth,
Naturally it became infected,
Henceforth she is known as the lip.
A twelve year old mind in a grown mature body,
Who grinds up against me when ever I
See her.
She is a double negative,
I mean what's a bad place
Like this doing in a bad girl like her.
She whispered in my ear
As she squeezes it
Even olden like you need
To get your thoughts off it.
1. olden? relating to former times.? or could it be....holden like holding/holdin'? ? hmm? ok, research time! Definition of holden archaic past participle of HOLD the last stanza baffles me a bit. of course lots of things in life baffle me! ! ! (cont.)

(cont.) 2. and i would think: What's a bad girl like her doing in a bad place like this? .. same words, arranged differently. BUT i think James did it HIS WAY, and i kind of like it. poem is (to me) quirky, but i would send it to MyPoemList except PH is not giving the option very recently! ; ( bri
