Am known by thugs

Am known by thugs
I rest in clubs
Worshiped in gags
Intoxicated.

Reined in blurs
Brawls so far
Mischief.

Ladies colorless and sharp
Rituals ridiculous and fast
Known to stars
Smitten.

I move with gangs
Sheriffs old and lame
Bare chest and tough
Ladies, sleek and sad
Frail.

Pregnancies mute and tart
babies frail and scourged
Restless.

Blown out in fads.
