Asylum For Katie

don’t get me wrong,
i could give a *****about
katie holmes,
katie cruise,
katie holmes-cruise or
kate noelle holmes,
as Wiki would have her.

but one must find asylum
for katie, as she is being
hunted down by the 
scientologist sea-soldiers
whose drones parade the world
with a special kind of 
madness &
after dropping tommy like a
bad habit,
she’s joined the unique club
of women who have chosen
sanity over
suffering.

in fact, as the few years 
progressed,
i can’t imagine a day that went 
by 
when she didn’t look more
haggard than the last &
sure, while she certainly made a lot of
a-level connects, being the baby-dispenser 
for one of scientology’s most vocal &
famous spokespeople, 
one could tell that part of her
deep down inside,
still remembered the young free woman,
that she had been.

so find a rock somewhere in hollywood
to hide her under,
or ship her off to a desert island,
****, find out what nicky did
when she dropped the bomb, but don’t 
go to mimi,
because rumor has it,
she’s the one that “saved” tom &
“showed him the way” of
l. ron.

sure, she can’t act her way out of a
balsa wood box &
sure, she’s not important enough to protect
from a stale Twinkie getting hurled across 
an elementary school cafeteria,
but ya got ta hand it to the girl for getting up the
strength to say
sayonara 
to the “space opera” &
though she’ll be labeled an SP, 
she can join the ****ing club with the rest of us &
in a perfect world,
she’ll shed the silliness of religion altogether &
become an Atheist.
