Kiss the Pride
Steely conceit,
low-grade manufactured lies
Stolen property:
iron crowbar kiss the tinted window glass
before the face paint dries
Idol chassis things
rolling off the conveyor belt
Humble beginnings —
discarded memories ... slag from the smelt
Silver dross assembled self,
triple A ego batteries required
Love in tow:
another vow insurance scam liar
You may now kiss the pride,
lift the veil of the scarred innocent heart
The black widow is once again a bride,
wiping those silken teary eyes
Can’t shatter the glass ceiling web
that ensnares your soul
Upon further arrogant inspection,
shutdown emotional quality control
Reinforced vanity —
upgrade the annealed haughtiness
Trophy buck showcase
the taxidermic truth reinvented self
