CASTE!

I slithered under water and spoke these words with my serpentine mouth and they echoed through the pond and vibrated the soggy trash out of my path and sent the fish darting from my view and it went. like. this:

If everyone else RUNS SCARED FROM DETROIT.. then we have to care about it. It is up to us! People run scared from us! They don't want to look humanity dead in the eye! They don't care about us because we are THE DYING SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF INDUSTRY!!!!! We put this fucking country up on wheels now we need to shut it down and let people know we won't be be SHUT UP!!! YOU CANT IGNORE US ANY MORE!!!! THERE IS EVERYTHING WRONG IN THIS COUNTRY!!!! AND IT IS THE RICH GETTING RICH AND THE POOR GETTING POORER!!!!! CASTE IN THE USA!!!!!!!

water in the room

"You had to go looking through my things, didn't you!"

There she was, the awful bitch.. screaming at me again.

That was all she ever did, was scream at me. With yellow teeth through red lipstick. Her fluffed chocolate brown bangs and puffball brown ponytail bouncing up and down in her red bathing suit, pink flip flops on squishing water out onto the gold shag carpeting while I was cornered uncomfortably in the room we shared. She just kept screaming at me, and there I was, desperately clutching onto a half naked barbie doll with half of its hair pulled out and one shoe on. My sister got done screaming at me and it was almost like I was in another world while it happened, like I was underwater and couldn't feel or hear a thing. I guess that is what happens after you just get used to the same old thing after awhile, you learn to go under the water.. even when you are on land. The room just filled up with imaginary tears but really all that is happening is your eyes are glazing over and you go into a trance. Now the room is very quiet and my sister is apologizing like she usually does, and reaches into her dresser for an ashtray and a pack of red Marlboro cigarettes. She lights one up and exhales a long rope of smoke and luxuriously lays back, like she is some kind of movie star or something, and lets out a moan likes she has just done something really, very satisfying.. and I am rising slowly now to surface of a very salty sea..

She thought while suckin' on it..

Tell Me It Ain't Bull

Wishin' on a flower.

Blow it all away.

Princess in a tower.

Prince so far away.

Woman in a wish bottle.

Man rubs his woes away.

Tell it ain't bullshit.

How they treat us in this way?

I SAID TELL ME IT AIN'T BULLSHIT?

I SAID TELL ME IT AIN'T BULL?

I SAID TELL ME IT AIN'T BULSHIIT?

I SAID TELL ME IT AIN'T BULL?

They say whose my little princess.

Then leave you there all day.

They whose my tiny kingdom, then wipe your tears away.

They feed you lies and it is poison, that looks like candy pops

You eat it up like you are starving, and wonder why you drop..

You wonder why drop, drop down the stair well, tumble down the stairs, fall from the thrown, shimmy down the well, roll like Jack n Jill, into your private hell.

I SAID TELL ME IT AIN'T BULLSHIT?

They way they treat their kids.

I said tell me it ain't bullshit, the way we treat our own kin.

I said tell me it ain't..

I said tell me in ain't..

I said TELL me....

I SAID.
