“Roadkill Rocker by Stewart Stafford
I ordered madness on toast.
My reflection pooled on the floor,
splashed around in it for ages,
until room service imploded the door.
“Time to pay the piper, son,” it growled —
“It’s my record label’s tab, you’ll find out!”
They clay-pigeoned my sandwich at me,
my last morsel before getting kicked out.
Housekeeping surveyed the wreckage,
this one-man party animal slunk to his feet:
“Don’t I know you from somewhere?”
“Yeah — I’m roadkill from down the street!”
