pardon my french, but you're an asshole

Pull a loose hair out of my bra
What do I have to show for it A better set of pens might be the perfect thing A credit to capital and a debit to Owner’s Equity That doesn’t concern anyone you’d know Oh how I hate to quit, I’ve hated the act I was suddenly in a spelling bee and given a long word Sandy said, “they all did what they needed to do” Which is almost as backhanded as when I said I hoped everyone got what they deserved Knowing which acts drove me to choose wrongly Does not help my mood |

believe the lie
logging in or logging out
slice of pizza for me
you shouldn’t even visit
and I ask which two worlds are those
my nature vocabulary is burgeoning
I feel summed up, I feel compacted
his tactical shift same as the racists use
it’s good I didn’t get what I wanted, I wish
I’m not good at memorizing much
besides they also serve who only stand and wait,
the daffadillies fill their cups with tears &
wife in a Subaru putting on moisturizer
