Are You Happy Now Marlene (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Are You Happy Now Marlene   (Bussokusekika)

It’s not everyday
I feel I must eat my words
When I spoke of her
She was not a simple knife
She was a freaking razor
Are you happy now Marlene

About this poem

I don’t think I would have felt the initial cut…But I fear I would have bled to death before anyone could have saved me…Was that the finest Arabian in your stable Marlene???Don’t get me wrong…She was truly a beauty…But IF she would of had an identical twin…
