Your grandmother sits in the corner, silently
watching and watching and watching and watching and
I have to go to the bathroom
but I am inhuman (I wish) so
I'll hold it, I'll try.
My lips are all broken and cracking, my dear;
if I smile they'll open and bleed all again
Taste my iron, I beg,
I don't care if she sees,
Make me bleed make me bleed make me bleed mke me bleed--

Oh you're sorry, you say--
your breath smells like animal
catsup or catfish or kitten
(or kitten!)--
You'd like to kiss sometimes--
but I am a side dish, you
finish me
and you're still hungry for more!

You are ravenous,
moaning and slurping up
remnants of me from the
dregs of your bottomless cup
I AM EMPTY
I've given you all that I've got
You're a parasite, tick,
I'm a ticking time bomb

I'm exploding!
A kitten you put in your microwave
Danger, I'm dangerous,
Put on your goggles
I'm acid, corrosive
I'll cut to your bones
without thinking or feeling
or seconding thoughts.

I'm a white light, I'm blinding
I'm blind raging fury
with talons and claws
I will cut all your organs out
Lock up your children,
your kittens, your grandmothers
I stop for nothing--
I won't stop for you.
