10 Little Gothlings
by Matthew F. Ringel


ten little gothlings
all doing fine
one o.d.'d on clown white
and then there were nine

nine little gothlings
still feeling great
one got fashion victimized
and then there were eight

eight little gothlings
fallen from heaven
one got religion
and then there were seven

seven little gothlings
looking for a fix
one went on Prozac
and then there were six

six little gothlings
still mostly alive
one got way too high on life
and then there were five

five little gothlings
sprawled out on the floor
one embraced oblivion
and then there were four

four little gothlings
dark as can be
one dressed in paisley
and then there were three

three little gothlings
wondering what to do
one did the macarena
and then there were two

two little gothlings
daring to have fun
one started smiling
and then there was one

one little gothling
staring at the sun
something started smoldering
and then there were none
