Circle Skirts and Bourbon

by melaniepaulos

he's a mouth breather          with thick thoughts                sinking in his brain         and a tide that pushes        him out       then pulls him back      again He's a tongue tied             trickle of conciousness                   and a cigarette stain Naturally numb,                          jaded,                                  and cracked.                                     Broken goods                              and no way                          to revert                       back. A product of pressured pleasure, the American man, for he is a mouth breather born into a can              soaked in sour                     preservatives and sent off to school in mom's minivan
