just a man
drag off a cigarette smirk
a walking shell game
snake in a can
so backwards in life
one questions
reports of his death
yet
he would crookedly smile
calling it
legend
just a man
drag off a cigarette smirk
a walking shell game
snake in a can
so backwards in life
one questions
reports of his death
yet
he would crookedly smile
calling it
legend
who knew
the 6th mass extinction
on the planet
would be set into motion
not by a furious comet
instead thrown into chaos
by an insidious cloud
of misinformation
(que piano music)
there’s a girl downtown
gets passed around
she’s early twenties
but plays smaller
she hallucinates snakes
as demons prey on her
there’s a girl downtown
she walks around
bare from the waist down
hacks at her own hair
is fond of defecating on sidewalks
but the winos and scum
buy her pretty little things
so they don’t feel guilty
after
i’m tired of being treated like a dirty hooker
because i feel free
to voice my opinions
joke
use clever little double entendres
assert myself as a woman
who admires the human form
both male and female
and shockingly
even my own voluptuous body
so i have dared to post photos of it
.
write poems
produce art
which express my feelings freely
.
i’m tired of waking up every morning
to private messages on facebook
from seemingly educated
and mostly married men
left in a drunken stupor
or on a predatory whim
hey baby
wanna fuck
cunt dick pussy
or various combinations thereof
.
no
no i don’t
nor do i want you to cum on my face
or any other part of my body
.
these digital pussies wouldn’t have the balls to behave in such a way
to my face
but social media and the internet
removes the barrier of decorum
it invites subterfuge, sickness, and depravity
desecration becomes acceptable
redefines morays
.
i have a folder in which i keep
eight years worth of facebook sexual violations
for legal record
which contains 71 unwanted dick pics
and two sets of tits
let’s not leave out the ladies
.
i have one creep who leaves nasty messages on my blog
using several different names
but the idiot doesn’t know
i traced his ip address
preparing for war
in a folder of every infraction
funny how serious they take internet stalking these days
.
and he’s not the first
and he won’t be the last
but this is a defect
of the information age
.
the criminal inside your home
invited by your mere existence
.
i didn’t ask for any of this
.
but i refuse to be less me
to accommodate their disease
.
this behavior speaks to the abuser
the vile betrayer
and says nothing about me
.
but what i will no longer do
is be polite
for the sake of decorum and decency
as these individuals
have never extended
those courtesies to me
.
so the next time you feel so inclined
prepare for the my wrath
prepare to receive
exactly what you deserve
vengeance
just before
i take my leave
veiled in toxicity
and the lipstick of a shriveled aging whore
with chanel no.9 blotted behind your ears
cock tucked back
dancing
silvery smith & wesson in hand
in all your demented wonder and glory
have once again done me a service
you make me grateful
for white bread
the certainty of his and hers bath towels
G-rated movies
generic colas
the flat ohio cornscape
encased in crooked rivers
crowned by the wreckage
of the edmund fitzgerald
acoustic versions
4/4 timing
and the primary colors learned in preschool
i could have been your most tragic victim
