From The Bet by Mark Pirie

The Bet

Jim you died
and left behind
a legacy
i now find

you said, 'drugs are a bet with the mind.'
i say 'your life was a bet with death.'

I
JUDGE
This court is in session. All Rise.

(Hateful eyes survey the Judge.)

Shall we start?

And then her thigh speaks
and a lush rain forest
weeps with pain

And then his cock inserts
the American night
full of death's innuendoes

JUDGE
Will the Prosecutor please address the witness
    Who's taking the minutes?
    Please be quiet! Order,
    Order in the Court!

And then her groan echoed
And the moon bellowed
Down, fresh but ordinary

And then his peverted mind
Stroked the erotic tumour
Of comaland

JUDGE
Counselor, do you wish to cross-examine
the witness?
All objections will be denied...

And then her breasts laughed
coy, cocky and brash

And then he left to fuck death with his life

JUDGE
A short recess will be taken
The jury will now leave to decide their verdict
Court will reconvene shortly for sentencing...

And then her exotic body flinched
from aggressive muscle contractions

And then his bath ran, with stillborn
water, the shady stream of Pluto...

II
(After recess Judge gives his verdict)

(Judge turns around to see the startled Jim Morrison)

JUDGE/REAPER
Welcome, friend:
I find you guilty on two counts
of trying to love
and trying to die...
