appreciated some nudity By J.J. Campbell


it was one of those nights 

where you swear you had 

your last drink and change 

was on the way


of course,


that night came again 

a few nights later


i was never an angry drunk


just one that wanted some 

fun and always appreciated 

some nudity


living on 80 acres certainly 

helped


closest fucking thing to 

a utopia i ever lived on


problem with small farms 

though


it takes more money than 

you could ever believe to 

keep it going


and all those bottles of 

liquor didn’t come with 

winning lottery tickets


hence the two bedroom 

ranch house on a quarter 

acre where i live now


trapped in suburbia


knowing the neighbors 

don’t appreciate loud 

noises


fuck ‘em







J.J. Campbell (1976 - ?) is old enough to know better. He's been widely published over the years, most recently at Synchronized Chaos, Disturb the Universe Magazine, The Beatnik Cowboy, Lothlorien Poetry Journal and Black Coffee Review. You can find him most days on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)
