my brain matter is worth 7 bucks
read me on kindle and I’m worth even less

my frustration is fourteen cents prolly
my longing is a bright new shiny penny
the love in the book is free

buy me cheap
I’m a cheap bastard

I’ll take your 7 bucks
and give you poetry that
looks like satan vomiting
through my nostrils
and Jesus
cleaning up the mess
