   seventy years scorpio style
   (for todd moore on his 70th birthday)

  seventy years of life
  survived
  stripped to the bone
  stabbed to the spleen
  thrashed into shape
  spitting
  clawing
  exclaiming
  using it all
  even the gristle
  no apologies
  no whining
  no half ass bargaining
  with the devil
  seventy years of life
  lived in fire walking style
  pen as machine gun
  peppering blank walls
