Minneapolis.

The world is a playground
except someone jumped off the see-saw
and I'm just on my ass in the woodchips,
just sliding down a metal slide
that bubbles flesh
as it spend all day soaking sun
like a sponge,
and someone took a shit
right next to the water fountain,
and now I'm just throwing up
on the merry-go-round.

---------------------------------------------------

Drunk as I am,
still even at two in the afternoon
rotten little ape
Waking up as I did
facedown in a back yard
slept for two hours
whiskey
beer
cigarettes
telling fuck stories 'til dawn
avoiding dog shit
sick on raw meat
drunk as I am
I'm not embarassed
to let you know about the waittress
that just conned me into a second Bloody Mary
and had perfect breasts.
