I can tell you this
I wanna be sick with sleaze
Gimme that infernal manboy whine, dear bloated heart
Gimme the jittering panic of adolescent letch
I wanna growl & bare my baby pinhead teeth
I wanna practice my O face imagined in the bathroom mirror all
slackjawed like a B-film death scene
Pound a heavy glass of chocolate milk & dare
to flick lit matches into the kitchen sink
Thirteen today & always latchkey
Day after day after day
