Speak Me Deadly #2 - A Californian Dick

from Voices In My Head - Disc 2 by Steve Smart Poetry & Music

/

about

So the SMD poems don't really form a narrative as such, I didn't really create a character like I've done with some of the other sets. It's more getting the feel of the theme; humour and danger and dames and gunshots and all that, all with that dark sinister vibe. And I think a lot of film noir was funny, in a really dry, world weary sort of way. The scenes with Humphrey Bogart,k Sidney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre? Hilarious.

So this poem... the title was a cute play on words, mixing noir with porn to find something uniquely Californian. I'm most proud of the last lines of the poem. With noir you had to have a twist, and that's my twist. No I'm not going to tell you what it is, you have to listen and find out.
