Lay On Me
by Jules Archer


When I think about you
On Friday nights
I'm not there

You're the man and
The God of a thousand faces
And what I'll never be

I'll repeat October
Just for a taste
Of what you won't give

I stare at wet palms
Thinking about William Faulkner
And Jack Daniels

Scuffed knees
Make crouching dangerous
But it's nice to pretend





Somewhere between being born and raised in the backwoods of Montana, Jules Archer developed a craving for the written word. All the little ramblings in her head need to be put down on paper. Today, she writes random stories of great genius and heartbreaking torpor while keeping her day job in marketing. She has been published at Metazen, The Glass Coin, Negative Suck and Monkeybicyle.
