I, Now, and Deserve
I slashed wounds into pinked skin,
Now I kiss them red as they burn.
I pulled thoughts before they ripe,
Now I soil them to better the taste.
I use to lay in rivers wearing oleanders,
Now I wear a bachelor's button behind my ear.
I bathed in glory and showerd in pride,
Now I humbly refuse that dreadful time.
I curled hair and stapled hate,
Now I brush it with my fingertips.
I bit those nails, fingers, knuckles to the stub,
Now I polish them with cream and shine.
Oh I deserve it! Oh I deserve it!
