My Baby

My baby’s favorite book is television.  
Cheap porn is the best thing she’s ever read. 

Like me, she was raised on the best diet:  
Bullshit, booze, and Wonder Bread. 

Her hair is supernatural.  
A smile of ultra bleach.  

When we get lucky, the neighborhood knows,  
’Cause we paint the town with my bloody nose.  

I feel commercial.  
I feel hardcore.  
I feel American.  

Drive-thru parasite.  

Supermarket sloth.
