Don’t call me baby
If you’ve no support to offer me
I don’t get to go home
Someplace clean when we’re done with this scene
Go back to Marysville, or maybe Mercer Island
Someplace suburban that hides it’s violence
When Goddess goes home I cast aside such lies as
the essential rationality of pleasing forms or
Their reductionism to raw numbers,
Venture capital from seduction.
