you disgust me
your white pinafore world of good deeds
and near misses
vacationing in the land of the ghetto
merry-go-round
for a moment you taste the asphalt and marvel
at the deprivation, sorrow and pain
like dipping your toes in the cold bite of
winter waters
then it's a report at school or a tale over scones
and coffee,
what the fuck are scones?
you leave me foul in the mouth, like the shit
that sticks to my teeth from a long night of drinking
bad whiskey and smoking stale tobacco,
you arrive like Christ on a stick shaking your heads
in amazed pity then you feast on our poverty and suck
the life from us,
just so you can say you really lived,
fuck you--”you've taken enough.
