Helen

This was the second poem in a trilogy of celebrity-themed poems which was sent to Poetry24. The first, "Colleen" they published, the second, "Helen" they rejected and the third has not been written yet:

Helen (I've Gone Off Colleen)

I like Helen on her teacher’s chair,

And she’d like me with my affro hair,

We’d ride to Vegas on our Palomino,

Sniffing ether and drinking vino,

All would be bliss until the next day,

When she’d find God and I’d go grey,

She’d slap my face, I would vomit,

We’d laugh, make up,

And go back to discussing Socratic method in the sand.
