THE POET AS KAREN BLACK IN A “B” MOVIE

 
Remembering herself
as a sloe-eyed tramp
giving up her teenage cherry
at a drive-in movie.

Aw, shucks, she sez,
I wuz a bad girl
when I wuz a girl
my Mama warned me
about girls like me.

She uses the back seat well
& afterward she drawls,
Wuz I good?
Mama always said
I should be good.
