Skirts and Pants.

you are
happy.
like a cupcake in frilled paper.

skirts and pants.

c-_-s
fat and serviceable.
blonde dye job behind bathroom doors.
mama let the boys run trains on you.
fell down the stairs.
emergency rooms all too familiar.
everything is your fault.
stop whining. youve done this before.

d-_-s.
it doesnt have to be your world.
too often it is.
balding.
whisky in the glove compartment.
lost temper. lost self.
say sorry
to your
sister
wife
mistress
mother.

sex, gender.
the lines aren't well defined.

you are
sad.
alive.
corrupted.
an *******.
