Day 16 -- Play

Slips

We wore them then  under skirts, dresses
slips called in the olden days small coats
she had a slip, a little slip and had to start
counting her sober days from zero again
she slipped on some old slick and busted
dreams, broke open because, said life, I
ain't playin girl, you can't give me the slip
I get all of what you got, your last chip
