PLEASE DADDY

By Scott L.

I’M GETTIN’ A TATTOO —

a cross + right on my forehead,

etched like a warning flare

to the whole damn universe.

My mind’s on fire,

my elbows buzzing,

my pockets empty as a busted jukebox.

Please Daddy—

I NEEEEED a cigarrette,

a smoke,

a mercy cloud,

a break from this red-face rage

and cosmic combustion.

💨💨💨💨

Somebody, anybody,

drop a coin,

drop a blessing,

drop a miracle in my open palms.

A tattoo right on my forehead.

PLEASE DADDY.

🎤💥

And someday—

just a tiny cross on my elbow,

a little blessing

every time I reach for

cigarettes,

coins,

hope,

or heaven.
