Liberated from my Hard Drive

This is an old dramatic monologue that has never before seen the light of day. It was obviously ashamed of itself...

On The Line                         

I didn't mean to get into this mess

Just got in with the wrong crowd

on the dark side –

found myself one morning crumpled

and screwed up

 – in a dirty dive –

let myself be taken for a ride

But oh, it was exciting  –

whizzing around with a new gang

feeling a bit of rough

letting myself be run through

by the blues

but now

I see it’s changed me

My other half won’t know me now

he’ll hang around with others

(clean as clean and white as white)

who have an

almost

matching rib

I am blue

and no one else is blue like me

I pray for

bleach
