Here goes dudes! Take the bait. The Unsinkable Molly Brown Rock Goddess
This is the girl you won’t forget.
Men at bars ask her friends about her,
What her deal is, too afraid she’ll laugh
In their face to approach, walk up
And ask her for themselves.
She’ll take your man and dice him
Into jellyfish, leave him quivering
On the open floor and thankful
she even talked to him, that she
was kind.
And everyone knows her
From a distance. It’s her hair,
The untamed mass of it has crept
Its way from her shoulders
Down her back through the months
You’ve all watched her toss it back
And laugh, that irresistible laugh
that makes you want to ask her
what’s the joke but you’re afraid
you wouldn’t even get it,
if she condescended to acknowledge you,
and answer.
You’ve heard awesome rumors about her:
How she stood down a girl who’d slept
with her man until the girl broke
down and tried to fight anyone there
at the bar because Molly Brown wouldn’t
raise at any wheedle, lie or tear.
She was stone. You felt her
Holding court in public.
Her apathy was judgment.
You heard she ripped off
Some guy’s dick last August
When he took her to the creek
At the state park, drunk brunch
Staggering distance, and pushed
Her a little too hard in the water.
But no one knows for sure.
That’s the thing about this girl,
That drives you crazy, you and every man
Who saw her at home, cursing with her liquor:
So many insane stories whisper
Around her image but you’ve never seen her
Even stumble, slur her words.
