Cynicism is a Cyn

I'll have a hard time forgiving

The Art Students who were

marinated in cynicism

And left to bake in the hot sun

With brown sugar

sliding down their throats

 

Who speak only the language

of French

And the language

of Artistic *** and Textiles

 

And

of course

The boys with the floppy hair

Who **** vinegar into scratched up sinks

And snorted ******* off of the eyelashes

of diet-coke-head-high-school girls

Who grew up

Grew their hair

And let their cheeks sink like ships

Into the cluttered caverns of their mouths

 

These girls are always wide-awake

and fast-asleep

And they never get drunk off of

incandescent light

And never remember to turn off

the tap before they go to sleep

But not in their beds

'Cus their heads

told their necks

They didn't need the support
