J.J. Campbell- Three Poems


probably should have died
 
there's a dent
in my left leg
from a car
accident in
my 20's
 
it's a pretty
visible reminder
that i probably
should have
died in that
accident
 
below that dent,
all the skin is
discolored
 
all i can think
when i look at
it is death
 
though i know
i'm not that
lucky just yet
 
 
the middle finger to the world
 
close your
eyes and
dance
between
the purple
raindrops
 
everyone
is always
watching
 
give them
a show
they
will
never
forget
 
change
all the
questions
as soon as
we figure
out all the
answers
 
be the
middle
finger
to the
world
 
life is
always
better
playing
the bad
guy
 
 
willing to bleed
 
i enjoy licking
the sweat off
of your body
 
i enjoy cramping
up when i'm in
an awkward
position that
you are
enjoying
 
i enjoy the arch
of your back
and your nails
digging into
mine
 
nothing is worth
it unless you're
willing to bleed
 
i honestly can
look into those
dark, mesmerizing
pools the rest of
the world calls
eyes and tell you
 
until death do
us part
