Whores make me sad
even when they seem to be having
a good time.
I am a pearl
anyone with a heart can see that
but not you
there's a war on,
between who you think I am, deargirl,
and the truth
and here, you're in
some bright journey of self-fulfillment.
I'm a sign
for something odd
like "giant gophers" or "alligator king"...
roadside shit
bumming your trip
to a glamorous future landscape
free from the past.
