awkward moments like
seeing her in the grocery store
with her new man, buying
veggieburgers and heads of lettuce
so fit, so shiny, like an American Idol
every move planned, every word
a scripted sound bite
It's like watching a foreign film
everytime you open your
dirty little mouth

i had a wet dream
i found you in the frozen food section
you smiled and said something
callous and condescending
i smashed your face into
the freezer door and woke up
with a terrible mess to tend

so he's got a camaro and a
great stereo system
i've got a clock radio that
talks like r2d2 when the
bell rings you awake
how appropriate that your
personal hygiene gives you away
so perfect and prim on the outside
but so vile and odorious
in your most rotten and sacred places
your true inner spirit leaking out
and polluting the world around you

you won't pollute me babe
i've got elvis costello to pull me through
you've got a lifetime of bon jovi
and bad missionary sex to look forward to
i should let you go
so i'll see you on the backside of forty
if you manage not to slit your wrists
in the bathroom of the glitzy, empty
party your life will become
my love for you is ticking clock BERZERKER! would you like some making fuck BERZERKER?!

why will you take by force what you may have quietly by love? - Powhatan

  • good job


    right everyone
  • maybe those veggieburger packages will give her something to focus on...
    some purpose outside herself

    one can hope, right?


    anyway, mookie'd... superfine... thanks for posting :)
