Live your life in
Pretty colors
Pretty blues
Pretty green
Like frog scum
And baby s**t
You're slipping in
Your filthy pit
Pretty reds
Pretty pink
Menstrual blood
In ruthless sync
Pretty yellows
Pretty black
P***y pus
A midnight snack
Live your life in
Violent blues
And garish tones
Cacophony
Like birthing moans
So every day
You fight the breeze
Oh, happy morning
It comes with ease
It ends with pain
It ends in red
An algal bloom
It leaves you dead
