Slidell Girl Poem by Nat Z. Punx

Slidell Girl



jukebox lover
slidell girl
always got the twist
soul so soft, eyes so bright
impossible to resist
we met in a place and time
where neither did exist
checkpoint baby
walk down esplanade
it was us
if anyone ever had it made
almost impossible
to make the grade
back up that long hard delta climb

fifteen hours in a trashed out olds
hour and a half by plane
leavin my cares and failures
on the city of new orleans train
never been in a place more than once
been three times with you
and though i'd like to be there now
one more thing i can't do

i come from a whiskey town
where liquor fills the gutters
every time i think of Ponchatraine
i forget about the others
but you live in another dirty town
surely be the end of me
die drunk in the bars of bourbon street
or just lie in the gutter
here at home
lie here till i drown
