our promised land is mortgaged waters poisoned your daughters legs are spread mass culture ready to eat her out. she buys it all- the gossip rags, fake tans, cherry-flavored condoms. she aches for it and it takes her gladly leaving behind only a faint scent of perfume. blood nails and *********** lips and artificial **** carry on. girls lose their virginity only because it's trendy and people obsess over the human interest pieces on the nightly news. i lash out with coffee breath and short nails and unkept hair and no religion as my mother sits me down and asks me not to step on any toes.
