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.
