cage me in your chest;
i'm an anxious pet, a hungry dog.
let me chew on your bones,
piss on your carpet,
or air purifier.
trade me like a baseball card.
maybe i will be worth more to
someone else. i never wanted
it both ways, you wanted it every-
which-ways. every witch has her
way.
mess with the bull and you'll get
the horns,
look through my dresser, you'll
probably find porn.
i'm not proud of much, and i'm
certain of even less.
no beliefs to die for, no one
to live for, just suburban
survival, shelter from vultures.
