shiny objects

Monday, August 02, 2004


I want to be admired like a NASCAR catastrophe
I want to be treasured like a keiloid scar
I want to be noticed like a botched lobotomy
I want to be loved like a porno star

I want to be funny as a beached quadreplegic
I want to be cool as freon spill
As unforgettable as a hooker with a penis
And as recognizable as fresh road kill

I want you to touch me like a scab, still oozing
I want you to kiss me like a cheap cigarette
So whisper in my ear like a pregnant mosquito
And tell me this life's not all we get.
