You Want To See Me Puke

camera in hand
you wait
ready to catch me puking up arthur's sushi
for posterity

but i don't eat arthur's sushi
and i don't puke
and there won't be any posterity

i slept on the futon for an hour or two
and woke up in a panic
where the fuck am i
who am i
oh yeah
i won't be a wife for much longer
i will have to learn how to sleep alone
again in my cold skin
homeless and haunted
no more tether
no more comfort

you want to see me wallow in my own vomit
you want to take a picture of me
in the gutter
close the shutter on me
dangling from a rope
burning at a stake
stoned to death with an A on my chest
i must be destroyed
an android disguised as a woman
is the worst insult
open me up
remove the wires
there is nothing there
take off my face
and smash it to bits
throw me in the dumpster
i am too toxic to be recycled

there will be no flowers
for this funeral.
