grind

show me your pose,your gravity-defying surgeryyour bonded smileyour Clorox hairshow me the scars that made wrinkles unnecessaryshow me the moments they paid forthere it is,your egg timer bodydecomposing with each hustlewhile your sensibilities go numb with apathy and practicethat require five happy hour margaritasto wash down the sin of each day.

About grind:

Written on 6/5/99 at 4:24am, after watching Heather Graham dancing to Lenny Kravitz' "American Woman" video on VH1's Insomniac Music Theater. She's probably a nice person in real life, and all her parts are genuine, but what the hell, the poem wanted to be written.
