So...it's Msallthat's birthday, and ole Dickens needs to take a minute or three to reflect on that.
MSallthat
You
Don't remember me
From a couple of years ago
There in the Cafe
But I remember you.
You dismissed me
And then I returned
The...compliment?
Then
I came back
And you were still there
Being your usual self:
Saucy, sassy, outrageous
Totally creative
And instantly attractive.
I was so
Attracted to
You.
And then
I went to Fayetteville
And then Muskogee
And those were times of
Quiet despair
And you were
Always there for me.
Big heart,
That's how so many
Described you.
In Ft. Smith
I need to get the
Fuck outta there
And you made that
Possible.
Yr generosity
Touched me
And touches still.
You encouraged my writing
Telling me how much
You loved my
Stuff
And went the extra mile
By actually including
Some of it
In the Hold.
And then
Collected all my writing
And surprised me on my b/d
By making me
A website.
Damn, Cait!
So here it is
Yr birthday
And I am thinking of you
And wanting to fuck
All night on
Bukowski's grave
And drink cheap beer
In celebration of that poet
You never quite got to meet.
He would have loved you.
He would have stayed up
All night
After plowing yr fertile fields
And written reams
About this
Crazy
Wonderful
Totally fucked-up
Precious
Woman
Known as
MSallthat.
He would probably have
Written an entire book
Of poetry
And called it
Allthat.
Dedicated
Only to you.
The only thing
I gotta say
Is that
If you ain't
Experienced
Msallthat
You've neither
Been there
Nor
Done that.
I love you.
--Dickens
