SPENT ANALOGIES
They sometimes expect
now to be then and here
to be there but itıs not
any more and you tell them
itıs like when youıre hungry
then you eat and youıre full
you just donıt have room for
dessert or when you buy a
cactus and over water it
and it dies then a blatant
I donıt want any dead cactus
for dessert not here not now
but they still donıt get it
their brain a frying egg white
and your cholesterol is too high
if only you had a can of Raid or
some Preparation H snicker as
a fuck you suck and my parakeet
is better hung your tongue couldnıt
lick an ice cream cone and you kiss
like a St. Bernard but they still
want to try again and promise
theyıll be better so you put away
your nail polish and open up one
last time again and the guy does
it right then you cry
