Thug LoveA Poem by Alvah GoldbookThug love, I suppose I hear her voice, and everyone pretends earphones, Newsweek, napkins guided by the wet trenches RC running down her scarred lips Grocery bag filled wrappers, DIY tampons I hear her voice, but everyone is busy pretending Thug love, I suppose Standing beyond the yellow line, yelling at the bus driver He is busy woman he is busy with the bus Sit down Poor is written in cum on her Bears jacket Poor is written in ink On her dragging breasts Thug love, I suppose Speaking English, but no one understands her She mumbles drool spit, jaw fallen open a cave entrance cracking dry Coughing menthol, sniffing gas, her knees wobble Refusing to fall Thug love, I suppose white trash ghetto girl taking up the whole sit get your feet off trailer trash get your feet off b***h get your feet off cocksucker Thug love, I suppose She spills her RC over box blond ghetto girl The cola separates her hair Dreads the edges, the bus tightens The bus throws her off her feet Thug love, I suppose White trash ghetto girl screams, stands up And breaks her teeth She bleeds, and the RC swims on her wound And travels into her body She lands on the bus stairs, and everyone watches Oh society, oh love peace benevolence harmony Oh bloody mouth gap face, turn around Turn around Thug love, I suppose The bus stops And the woman leaves, her blood on box blond Her blood on the seats, her blood travels the wet trenches On the windows, the RC can skidding under the seats She yells outside, and everyone is busy pretending Everyone is pretending and avoiding her blood Thug love, I suppose Screaming about HIV Everyone pretending, everyone avoiding the blood
