New Shampoo or a Better Cologne?A Poem by Jessica Elaine Stevens [Faiteach]An old one this time.I'm feeling dark and frustrated- like I could rip a man to pieces;
tear his heart out and eat it,
fork and knife etiquette,
I'm feeling kind of agitated-
there's an ocean in my chest;
Apocalypse boiling on the surface,
of my ravaged heart,
I'm feeling trapped and exposed-
young virgin on the operating table;
cut out her innocence,
vestigial structure, didn't need it anyway,
I'm feeling a little bored-
exposé on my latest scheme;
take this photograph and burn it,
(©) yourself to death,
Got some new clothes
Cut my hair a little shorter
Conceal my eyes in shadow
Brush on a tight-lipped smile
Doesn't matter how loud I scream-
-I can still smell your skin on my pillowcase.
