Jack tells me it’s ok to feel pale
And ill will towards myself.
Jill tells me to take one before
bed
One before waking up as well.
Do we all break ourselves when we
fall?
Cause they both went up the hill,
And I can still buy Natural
Spring from the grocery store,
What the hell do I need a bucket
for?
There is silence in my ears except
the ringing.
Eleven raped, eight fires and five
kittens born this week…
On the news show.
What the hell are these small cracks and
Too much fat in my face skin?
No worries I’m saving up for
Botox and Liposuction.
I’m pretending to smile at my
neighbor
As long as both hands are visible.
He stares right through the pains
in my house
He watches my reality shows on
cable.
You’d better mow/clip/cut and
water the lawn
And close up the property with
gates and fenced dogs.
What’s that you say, you’ve
spilled the beans – we can use bleach
To clean the sheets and linoleum
seams.
And what else is too dirty to be
seen,
What else needs anti-bacterial
statusing?
Call me maniacal or just call me
by my name
But I like to think this is just
natural.
