Enlarged, enlarging, rupturing
Allie, she’s the one who pushed me
down a flight of stairs ten years ago
Pulled all the hair from the crown of her head and went to the
Ketamine center
Or something,
smelled like Monterey cherries
Anyway
Ugly, like, naked ugly,
Like 
That’s her dad, got caught sticking his skull in
You guessed it, the boiler
So he’s a shiny and an old too, not very handsome
Dads always give me the heebie-jeebies anyway
Like when they come home, where are they?
Eating Tupperware and cold water and nuts and stuff
It’s gross
Men always have poor oral hygiene
They pick a few teeth and then that’s it
All the other ones don’t exist, but
Meredith the sister is marrying a Peruvian
I searched her room and found jumping beans
She has a jumping bean mail-order subscription
Amazing Beans Dot Com
What would Thiago think about that!
and I mean that truthfully
Standing on moving tiles in Accra selling cars
With her body parts which don’t move
Very brittle with high cheek bones yea,
I will give her that,
But I don’t want to give her
Confidence, because it’s better to have
No bones, people like you more when you’re
Skin n’ fat
She’s a bitch and I miss her mom, Frank
