I want to be a dog's growl:   as rough as bark. As I ruff and I bark   until my throat bleeds, down my tongue,   and clots, choking me. Strangling my anger.   I want to bite God's hand and taste the scars and lines.   I want to run alongside the downfall of man   like I'm chasing cars. Waiting to be run over. I want to be castrated,   neutered, so I can fall in line,   so I can conform, so I can be me in a sea   of nobody else. I want to be beaten   with a chain attached to my neck.   I want to be on t-v. I want to be saved.   I want to betray trust. Generic. Generic.   I want to be like this poem:   generic, you martyr. You genocidal ****   You deadbeat. You racist.   You sexist. You intolerant ****   I want to chew off my trapped leg. I want to be a dog's growl.

I Want to Be a Dog's Growl
I want to be a dog's growl:   as rough as bark. As I ruff and I bark   until my throat bleeds, down my tongue,   and clots, choking me. Strangling my anger.   I want to bite God's hand and taste the scars and lines.   I want to run alongside the downfall of man   like I'm chasing cars. Waiting to be run over. I want to be castrated,   neutered, so I can fall in line,   so I can conform, so I can be me in a sea   of nobody else. I want to be beaten   with a chain attached to my neck.   I want to be on t-v. I want to be saved.   I want to betray trust. Generic. Generic.   I want to be like this poem:   generic, you martyr. You genocidal ****   You deadbeat. You racist.   You sexist. You intolerant ****   I want to chew off my trapped leg. I want to be a dog's growl.
