Pulp Poem of the Week

Laugh boys laugh
A few years more and we’ll be dead
And new faces will come and cackle in this place
Laugh boys laugh
For a heavy doom is awaiting you

Pulp Poem of the Week

Believe it or not I’ve never bought
a single piece of junk. I found it all
on the street. You’d be surprised
what you find once you look.
Pennies, nickels, dimes,
safety pins, jacks, dice, mirrors,
small bottles, dresser handles,
screws, wire, cord,
mothballs, cigarette packs,
pens that say different things on them,
bullets.
