we are the insects trapped inside homemade fly traps glued on at the roof of the mouth underbelly, I run around looking for trouble trailer park princess, bar-fights in every space between my teeth I'm a child of a child
I beat my paper wings against the shamelessness Dance like the cigarette breaks are forever Swisher blunts for the forget-me-not flowers inside backseats of cars, cabs, stolen automobiles Revenge, locked jaw police officers like the fathers that never let you hold a gun so you become one
Taste blood, tongues, beauty in chaos loose lips, stolen drugstore mascara and no more bruised knees Boys like soft but you're the ******* Armageddon, knuckle-ring gods and all so the men want to be kings and you grow up a feral cat sleeping in twin sized beds with a mouthful of curse words
Lord of the flies, lot lizards and truck-stop races gritty bathroom graffiti is the cathedral but prayers never stop Taverns with your name and the angels that spit The television static never ends here, cicadasΒ Β Doors with mosquitoes held hostage, home for supper wasted by dessert
Down in the dirt, grimy bathtub I unearth all the things I couldn't drink away; all the motel fantasies, ***-stained skirts and the neon lights waiting for the swarm
