On the bad
side of a good time
Look at what you did you slut.
You're condemned now,
take a number and join the queue
welcome to the butchery
flanks of flesh banging against each other
Sticks and leaves and dirt in my underpants
sand next to my skin
dry mouth
sore head
no safety net, no margin of error
I kiss my parents good morning
with lips that were other places
last night
little angel - halo for a hula hoop
swinging my hips tonight
Hello consequence.
Teach me a lesson
that will make me save myself
before the night is over
and before the regret sets in.
