which one of you gave my sister tennis elbow
and nailed the blinds shut
closed the refrigerator door on Pooky's tail
put dishes under car tires for a block
all our neighbors are pigs
written in lipstick
mine
across Mrs. Bottleby's greenhouse
and cigarette butts stuck to the ceiling
gramma's lazy boy
mutilated by patches of still-hot jism
everything's tinted yellow
i'm just sick of
dog-kennel toilets imprisoned on the front lawn
the dried-grey mush of communist manifestos
splattered over the kitchen cabinets
wads of lice-infested pubic hair
leaping from every corner
severed genital warts on the dining room table
a sheet of raw flakes
breakfast for a starving disease
why don't you all move out or
i'll go away
there'll be no more human yelps
knocking the dust up
no more shining underwear
or elephant gun farts with giggling
i'll find love or something serious and
no more waves of cat piss
surfing up my nose forever
no more sheet metal snoring
no more drunks when i'm
naked by the couch
beer on my canvas
no more people
