imagine you are a spacious clean bathroom brushing its teeth oh
a bleached cistern little sister oh
a mintfresh bowl full of shit, honey oh you are a scooped out melon
yesno noyes
you are refrigerated and sweating
your body is a polyester curtain thrown open on your naked bed
these bursts of sun-backed shadow are the imperfections of your cheeky eye gasping oh,
you are a foetus under ultrasound gel feeling the shiver of the skin around you , you are
the wonderful everyday thousand foot drop onto a soft mattress yes yes
with legs playing your toes...

things reached a chin level of shit
when i found maggots in the laundry

i could not fucking take
my mothers tuneless humming

and i slid further and further
from the second i said
very low
not quite level
'shut up'

and maggots squirmed out of my mind

ever since she spied
the light glinting off me bare arms
she has been pushing for a suicide

my mother the fucking martyr
says she is tired of me shitting on her

then
dont
live
in
a
shit hole
bitch
