old aunt mary
lost her legs to the knife.
We're going over tonight to look at it again.

I won't ever sell you out,
like a fish thrown back
in a double knit tweed
and a bad men's scent,
but I'm in love with a defeatists and wild for magazines
I'm not just some boy
breathing down your neck
I'm absolutely the most important man in the world
and my fucking kids will play two sports apiece,
old aunt may
wih purple feet
