Poetry

The Theopoetics of Trying To Smoke Drywall

I'm the craziest bitch
The debonaire, desirable, degenerate darling
The coked up, cock slobbering succubus
Who occupies the dreams of corrupt clergymen

Crack dealers see me, piss pants parrying
Terror tenting up in my frail little soul
Young age showing subtly and obviously 
Equidistant between cop and crackwhore

She’s my ride or die
As in I better get in that car or die
I'm scared to see my teeth taken out 
By fisticuffsmanship or fights, blinking with fists
I'm a child in a playpen of hypodermic playthings
But too full of pepsi to piddle my way home

Cat litter rocks rock my little world
I wish I could stretch my foreskin
To hold all the crack and coke in this wild whirl
Because all the delicious filth in this world stretches me thin
