My maladusted white-trash next-door neighbor
has that same tattoo,
but somehow it’s supposed to look hip and
avant-garde on you.
You made it through four years of college, but
you’re not very smart.
In photos, be naked and covered in blood,
and get away with calling it “art.”
All of the guys you’d tried-on before the one
who’d fit your esthetic
were left to choose between hating your guts
or feeling so pathetic;
I, for one, consider you worth neither remorse
nor malice.
In photos, be naked with a cross up your cunt,
drinking goat’s blood from a chalice.
Ruin yourself in a social-media display
of rebellious descent,
with all the likes and the comments applauding
the wicked way Daddy’s Girl went
and the turns that she is taking while making
a such beautiful mess.
In photos, be naked and covered in feces,
‘cause it’s all you have left to express.
