Shock Value

the pious nun/ in a jester’s outfit

hysterically/ holds an M249 squad automatic/

sloppily makes out/ with the same Catholic Pope/ who

yet again molests another/ altar boy number 9/

their purity/ never really stood a chance

the same sort of youth/ voraciously ingested/ by

ancient Hollywood elites/ nihilistic/ scumbags

assembled/some top secret pedophile ring /the same audacity

like the “supposed”/ Pizza/gate/ scandal

as Hillary and the Saudis/ Trump and Putin

lay intertwined in bed/ a ménage á quatre/ scheming

to puppeteer this wilting planet/ where they say/ overpopulation

is wiping out our resources/ and food/ so

what the fuck, Burger King?/ trying to `omise the world

your thick/ lengthy/ tasty/ 7 inchers are packaged with sex appeal?

look/ women are not dying to/ suck you or anyone off, okay?

ya’ll should aim to feed/ appeal/to a different consumer base

maybe a country lacking the extravagance/ conspicuous consumption/

somewhere where squirming infants/ blind/

scramble to feed off/ a widowed pig/ running low on milk

meanwhile here at home/ some Barbie doll with/

stitched up fleshy patches/ carved up/ marked with permanent sharpies:

cellulite/ slut/ bulimic/ psycho/ shallow-bitch/ trophy/

mouth sewn shut/ the rest of her Lolita friends gather 'round/

on their knees/ Kevin Systrom/ Zhang Yiming

and Mark Zuckerberg unzip their flies/ whip out their

smart phones/ notifications blinking/ TikTok/ Facebook & Instagram

pages blaring/ the girls’ mouths spread wide/ irresistibly/ drooling,

procuring as many/ likes/ as they can/ while

heroin chic mannequins/ stare off/ disconnected/ snort

lines after lines of/ white, high-end/ 100% pure/ aesthetic,

designer labels & luxury brands/ just look/

at all the clout it brings/ of course/ they're high-key relieved

they're not from the projects/ Skid Row/ just a few miles from their

studios/ an emaciated sixth grader/ stands/

with an older lady/ jonesing/ at the end of her 3rd trimester/

both suck on tall Marlboro Reds/ shackled

to crinkled and unopened packs of cancer/ the woman

glances sideways/ and wonders how

skeletons can/ wrinkle so badly
